Why didn't you? You're the only intelligent researcher here, after all.

No Dick, I mean Nick, my argument is that the legal status of gun
ownership has NOTHING to do with the level of gun crime. Criminals do
not obey laws - which is why they are CRIMINALS. Even a moron like
myself can grasp that concept.

How long do you give it?

Whats an acceptable number of innocent and defenseless deaths while
waiting for the gun free nirvana?

Once guns are completely gone, do you just go down the list of tools
that are used for murder and ban them, until people are cutting their
sandwiches with overgrown fingernails (the length of which will no
doubt need to be regulated)?

Once your back to the basic murder tools - and the tools increasingly
being used in crime in the UK - do you begin severing hands and feet?
