74. So, as they say, what?

It means a continually lower rate of crime committed with guns and much lower rates of gun related violence in both countries.

The UK hardened it's anti-gun owning policies in response to the Hungerford and Dunblane and is thinking about further restrictions following the Cumbrian massacre. Certainly the certificates issued in the last 2 cases should have been withdrawn as it was known that the perpetrators were under extreme stress and, in the case of Bird, known for violent actions.

Australia hardened it's gun policies in response to the Tasmanian massacre leading to a year on year decline in crime committed with guns.

In fact the USA is alone amongst all developed countries in its insistence on unfettered access to weapons and is outstanding in the number of gun deaths per capita; the per capita the deaths in the USA dwarf even Switzerland and Israel. Correlation is not causation but it is very highly indicative.
