Gun ownership in the UK is still very low (although growing), and no one I know of has ever been attacking by a burgular with a gun, or a rapist with a gun. In the UK, you are probably most likely to be shot (if you are an innocent person and not a drug dealer) by the police.
I would also supsect (although I dont have evidence) that the UK does not have a much greater level of robberies or burgulary compared to the US.
