You might be surprised to learn that people who have no compunction about breaking a law by killing people aren't dissuaded by a law forbidding gun ownership.
It's kind of the definition of "criminal", you know.

No, it's an apt right that should have better limits.
Your first point is legitimate.
Second point, a right? Really? It's illegal to carry a gun in public here and I'm perfectly happy with that, never seen it as an infringement of my rights and I think most British people probably feel that way. Guess I'm not waking up paranoid someone is going to shoot me today. I can be comfortable in that assumption, yknow, given it's so hard to get guns here.
We don't have repeated incidents of crazy kids going into schools on a rampage, while America does. We have far lower gun crime rates than America does. We have tightly controlled gun laws, America doesn't. Not a coincidence.
