Because they have it so bad in the UK? Violent crime is 1/5 here in the UK so the NRA's theory is a failure.

You do realize the stats were cleared up in this thread pages ago?

Here are assaults from the OECD Health Series - crimes you would be in actual serious danger and require defense from harm - all from the same classification system:

2. Why Assault Death Rates and not just Gun-Use Deaths?
The problem across the board here is getting consistent, reliable, cross-national data. The goal of the original post was to set the U.S. in some kind of longitudinal context with broadly comparable countries—in brief, the advanced industrial democracies—and the OECD is the best source for time-series data of this kind. But there is no good long-run cross-national data on deaths due to gun-use alone. Death as a result of violent assault is the best available series. There are some single-year cross-country datasets, and there are some smaller country-to-country comparisons, too. As a reminder, my original posts did not make any claims at all about guns, gun violence, or gun laws. I was interested in comparing rates of violent death across developed democracies, and that’s exactly what I did.

also, i read somewhere (might have been here, otherwise FB), that the number of first time gun buyers is actually decreasing; most sales are to people that already own firearm(s).
