People like me and Spen are talking from our own point of view and not representing the UK per se. Our views are as relevant as anybody else's - we're here for the discussion of an issue, we're not touting UK laws as a global panacea for gun crime.
UK laws were not draconian and not forced upon the population - they were introduced with the backing of the public and were seen as the only way to guarantee that firearms were not misused by legal owners, and to send the message that the UK does not regard firearms
You seem to be a "one issue" person here - the RKBA seems more important than anything else, which I find bizarre. "Everything else is debatable, but we have to concede gun ownership as a first step."
I actually agree that legal gun ownership will never be abolished in the US, but there's certainly a lot of room for debate around how gun laws are enforced and develop.
