Besides learning how tactful and polite your typical gun advocate is, I also learned that in the UK last year, there was a grand total of 35 deaths (murders) due to guns; in the USA that statistic: 11,458 gun murders.

More Pain.
Maybe, just maybe, Guns really do kill people? Maybe, just maybe, the right to bear Muskets would kill less people?
