Onward Allusion

Received an email from NRA-ILA last night. It mostly discussed the riots that took place in the UK this past week and how their people have been disarmed and could not defend themselves. There was also an interesting link to an article from July 2009 from UK's Daily Mail. It states that violent crime rates in the UK are near the top in Europe and are even higher than the USA.
Below is the link to the Daily Mail article.

How true is this??? I'm very surprised at the stats. Why haven't these arguments been tossed back at the antis? Or have they? I know that the numbers are from 2009 but I also know that the US numbers have remained relatively static. I can't imagine the UK numbers going from 2K per 100K to anywhere near the US numbers in 2 years...

MODS - If this is in the wrong section, please move. I was going to put it in Legal, but it didn't quite fit there.
