I know. I posted it to illustrate one more time that guns are a deterrent to
crime - regardless of "where".

Imagine this: A stranger with unknown intentions and nasty vibes enters your
bedroom at night, wielding a butcher knife. How likely is it that he'll
commit mayhem on you if you have a gun under your pillow? Or would you
rather dial 911?

Okay, I just re-read my post. I think you misunderstand what my point
was. My point was, I don't believe
that England is "more crime-ridden than the United States." That's
exactly what the story from your
link said.
