UK has absurdly high violent crime rates however, something that actually greatly increased, in some cases tripled, once gun restrictions were placed.

I'm not sure what you regard as 'absurdly' high violent crime rates - but they have nothing at all to do with gun restrictions being, or not being in place. There has never been a weapon-carrying culture in the UK. The statement you make is both foundless, and fails to recognise that there are a vast number of more important factors that would be the 'cause' of any apparent rise in violent crime figures since the '20s and '50s.
On a slight tangent, it does seem to me to be stretching the argument a little to be drawing on figures that are over 50 years old.

How likely is the government to take away your freedoms by force? Does ths US military and police really have the manpower to take away our freedoms?

No, it's unlikely - and yes, they have the manpower to do whatever they like. It's just a matter of isolation, and taking things one person at a time.
