The gun lobbies want NO regulations on guns. While I lived in England, I don't remember any gun murders and their gun laws are stringent.

The United Kingdom (except Northern Ireland) has low levels of gun ownership and generally one of the lowest rates of intentional gun deaths. However, this is only in mainland Great Britain. Firearms ownership is still very high in Northern Ireland. Private ownership of firearms is far more common and largely accepted in rural areas.[24] The gun crime rate rose between 1997 and 2004 but has since slightly receded,[25] while the number of murders from gun crime has largely remained static over the past decade.[26] Over the course of the 20th century, the UK gradually implemented tighter regulation of the civilian ownership of firearms through the enactment of the 1968, 1988, 1994 and 1997 Firearms (Amendment) Acts[27] leading to the current outright ban on the ownership of all automatic, and most self-loading, firearms in the UK. The ownership of breech-loading handguns is, in particular, also very tightly controlled and effectively limited (other than in Northern Ireland)[28] to those persons who may require such a handgun for the non routine humane killing of injured or dangerous animals. Each firearm must be registered on a Firearms Certificate (FAC) or shotgun certificate. These are issued by local police after the buyer demonstrates good reason for each firearm (e.g. hunting, pest control, or target shooting). Police may restrict the type and amount of ammunition held, and where and how the firearms are used.[29] Historically, most certificates approved for handguns listed "self defense" as a reason. Since 1968 in mainland Britain, self-defense alone is not considered an acceptable "good reason" for firearm ownership (however use of a licensed firearm in self defense is often justified provided that the victim can prove they used necessary reasonable force or acted in fear of their life). Only in Northern Ireland is self-defense still accepted as a reason. The police should not amend, revoke (even partially) or refuse an FAC without stating a valid reason. (Section 29(1) of the 1968 Act gives the chief officer power to vary, by a notice in writing, any such condition not prescribed by the rules made by the Secretary of State. The notice may require the holder to deliver the certificate to the chief officer within twenty one days for the purpose of amending the conditions. The certificate may be revoked if the holder fails to comply with such a requirement.)

There are no major gun rights lobbyists in the United Kingdom and little debate exists about gun-control laws. The UK has a largely urbanised population and 'gun sports' are uncommon and in some cases illegal (for instance, Great Britain's pistol shooting team are banned from practising in Britain and instead practice in Switzerland). This culture has led to some of the most stringent gun-control laws in the world.

Air rifles under 12 ft·lbf (16 J) and air pistols under 6 ft·lbf (8.1 J) can be purchased legally by anyone over the age of 18, and do not require a licence.[30]^

You can read down various countries and find differing gun laws and differing murder rates; however, all the deaths in Mexico/US from drug cartels are being laid at our doorstep because of the ease of obtaining firearms. You've made it that way; you and those like you. If we had had gun laws like England, that man who shot the Congresswoman would never have had a gun to shoot her with. He probably wouldn't have gotten close enough to attack her with a knife. Knives are up close and personal, guns are not. Cowards use guns; stupid Neanderthals use knives.

The rest of us use words and they can certainly cut.
