 Countries like Australia and U.K (both islands by the way) had minimal gun ownership before the bans. 


Not true for Australia, 30 years ago gun ownership was very high in Australia, most old Australian families had rural connections and owning a gun was seen as normal for most of us

But since the laws/buy backs/amesty gun ownership per head has plummeted and people are very favourable towards those laws restricing guns 

Australians generally dont have the feeling they could be shot when going about their business, and police dont generally use guns, so few gun related deaths from both  

Wasn't what I was talking about. Depending on where you live in the U.S anywhere between 20-60% of households have guns. There are more guns than people in this non-island low population density country. Australia's level of ownership before and after Port Arthur does not compare.
