Murder rate in Britain, 2011-2012: 10.43 per 1,000,000. Firearms accounted for 6% of homicides, so .72 gun-homicides for 1,000,000. Through basic math, that's 1.043 murders, and .072 gun-murders, per 100,000 respectively.

(In this other article, the gun homicide rate in 2012 was listed for Whales and England as .07 per 100,000, so you can tell how closely the data lines up, which proves that my evidence is consistent. Scotland had no ratio posted but we can infer that it is insignificant. Northern Ireland is not included because that place is unusually violent and unstable. Here's that article, it too was written in and for 2012).

Murder and nonnegligent manslaughter rate in the US, 2012: 4.7 per 100,000
As we know from the Guardian article, the US gun homicide rate is 2.97 per 100,000. 2.97/4.7 is about 63%. So of all the murders committed in the US in 2012, 63% involved guns.

Conclusion: Accounting for population differences;
1) The UK has about 4 times less murders in general compared to the US.
2) Only 6% of UK murders involved guns, compared to 63% in the US.
3) The gun homicide rate out of 100,000 in the US is about 2.97, compared to the UK's rate of .07, that's about 40 times lower.
4) There is an obvious positive-correlation between restrictive gun laws and fewer murders in general, gun-only and otherwise.
Clear enough?
