The US gun death rate is FORTY times that in the UK btw.

The Vermon murder rate (1.5/100,000) is exactly the same as in the UK.

If you're going to be selective with a state of the US why talk about the

At the last count there were a very small number of factors missing

status equivalent to a country, in the same way that the comparison can
be made between the individual states of the U.S. and its federal
