If you believe this site, which purports to use stats from a UN study on crime, in the US there are .028 murders by firearms per 1,000, while in Great Britain there are .0010 murders by firearms per 1,000.

You would think that, given that they're both highly populated, highly developed countries, the UK's stricter laws on guns can account for a lot of that difference.
