The murder rate in the UK has indeed barely risen more as a percentage when compared to the murder rate in the US since guns were banned there.
But robberies, assaults, and rapes all occur at double the rate than in the US.

Homicide in Canada and Australia went up though after bans.
Yeah, that's a totally unbiased site :thumbsdown:
Why not just quote directly from the NRA and be done with it.
Meawnhile, with real facts
According to the latest figures released Thursday, the murder rate in the UK fell by 14 percent year-on-year to 550 homicides in 2011-12; the lowest it's been since 1983. Violent crime in England and Wales also fell by 7 percent, while robberies declined by 2 percent.
