"But there were only 42 gun deaths in the U.K., and they don't have guns."
There are a couple "acquaintances" in particular who constantly use this as their argument for me/us not having guns. Now, obviously you can't compare the numbers directly, because the U.S. has a lot more citizens, but their percentage is still quite a bit lower. (Don't worry, they're not making me change my stance on owning guns.) So, what's a good response to that? (Any pertinent citations would be very helpful. These close-minded individuals wouldn't believe the sky is blue without seeing a credible citation.)
