"The meme said: "There are over 2,000 crimes recorded per 100,000 population in the U.K., making it the most violent place in Europe. Austria is second, with a rate of 1,677 per 100,000 people, followed by Sweden, Belgium, Finland and Holland. By comparison, America has an estimated rate of 466 violent crimes per 100,000. … So hey, Europe, how ‘bout you shut the #%$@ up about gun control?"

Gun control will never work, because criminals dont operate within bounds of laws. Thats what makes them criminals. Outlaw guns, the people you dnt wanr having them still will have them. Because their criminals. Its that simple.

Yes, it does, and that's why we MUST own guns. Otherwise, these kooks gain total control.
What sane person trusts such people to protect them?

Less deadly? Keep telling yourself that I guess. You get stabbed in the neck, or your skull caved in with a bat, you are still as dead as if you been shot.....

They already have total control, and they did it without taking away guns.

This is because they tend to see themselves as being people of elevated importance, and thus in need of protections not necessary to the commoners. Instead it just makes them giant hypocrites.
