Wikipedia to the rescue, strangely enough, second reference here, but then again it's hard to ignore a historian of Joyce Lee Malcolm's stature who wrote a book so focused on the subject, and published by Harvard University Press. The book in question which covers this is her 2002 Guns and Violence: The English Experience, per the editorial blurb:

> Malcolm also offers a revealing comparison of the experience in England experience with that in the modern United States. Today Americans own some 200 million guns and have seen eight consecutive years of declining violence, while the English--prohibited from carrying weapons and limited in their right to self-defense have suffered a dramatic increase in rates of violent crime.

Haven't read the book, but remember her comment about the most startling revelation from her research.

The 200 million in 2001 (when the book was in the production process) was low, I'm pretty sure, and now the number is 450 million as a bare minimum to maybe even 600 million guns, with a lot more gun "use" due to the final wave of shall issue or better concealed carry laws.

Which would include every single Constitutional Carry state law except Vermont, which until yesterday had the rare distinction of never restricting guns, although the gun grabbers there as elsewhere in formerly gun friendly states are not daring to take away carry rights. And our violent crime rates continued to drop, until BLM of course, from memory that can be seen in the statistics as of 2015-6. And most of that crime is in states and cities with very restrictive gun laws.

Completely unrelated tidbit that Bing somehow coughed up in my searching, "No Obama documents in Obama library? Historians puzzled by Chicago center plans". Nope, nope, there's no possibility making them only available as scans will be used to hide stuff.
