Statistics be thrown out the window - if you're in a position where no

then gun control isn't going to help -- you can just as easily use
anything else around the house for a weapon even if you're gun is taken
away. You need proffesional help (or punishment) if you're in that
state of mind.

Just because the social situation in the UK isn't currently in a state
