I live in the UK too and like you say, its very hard to get your hands on a gun as a common citizen; which is good because there's literally no need to have a gun. I know many people will say "but what if you get attacked/mugged or your home gets robbed/invaded" but there's a few things to consider:

1. If you can get your hands on a gun, the chances are so can your attacker.
   
2. Even if you have a gun, do you know how to use it? How to load, aim, fire, toggle the safety, stop it from jamming? I doubt many people will go to a shooting range.
   
3. If you did have a gun and you did get attacked, chances are you won't even be able to get it out or the attacked might just take it from you if you did
   

Statisically, if you're male you're more likely to die bif you have access to a gun than if you don't; 29% in fact. If you're female, then you're three times as likely to die.
