It's easier to do in the UK sure. Who protects you from the govt. though? Count Dankula made an bad joke on youtube and got punished for it. Guy gets murdered in a mostly muslim prison for leaving a bacon sandwich outside a mosque. Tommy Robinson gets arrested for reporting on Muslim pedophiles. Meanwhile I can find pictures of Muslims in London waving ISIS flags. Seems to me the UK is very specific w/ whom they punish. The UK has roughly 1/6th of our population yet you have a machete attack every 90 minutes?

who protects you from the government
This is a very American idea, and I doubt we're going to make much progress discussing this as our attitude towards the nature and function of a government is completely different.
Robinson was arrested for breaking the law. Reporting restrictions are put in place to stop outside sources from influencing the outcome of a trial. Somehow this has been glossed over.
Statistics on states with restrictive gun laws are not the same as countries with those laws. You can't expect guns to stay out of Chicago when they are present everywhere else. The UK is in a far better position to enforce gun control than any US state, and probably more so than most other European countries. Australia is another country with gun law restrictions, and whilst I have no idea what the actual statistics are over there, I'd be willing to bet gun ownership is a lot lower than states in the US with gun control due to their isolated nature.
