New Zealand: 3,993,817 = 1 gun death per 798,763 people.
Australia: 19,913,144 = 1 gun death per 355,592 people.
Sweden: 8,986,400 = 1 gun death per 242,876 people.
Canada: 32,507,874 = 1 gun death per 176,673 people.
United States: 293,027,571 = 1 gun death per 25,831 people.
The poster said England and Wales, not the entire UK. Using an estimate of 53 million for the 2004 population for England and Wales it would work out to one gun murder (I'm asuming its only murders) per 726 000.
