"London has far more gun crime than much of the US does"

Can we get a figure to back that up please? The MET places gun crime figures in greater London at 1570 (http://www.met.police.uk/crimefigures/) with a population of approx 8 million. Which American populations would you compare this to and what are their figures?

I've spent a significant amount of time in London and have never once run into any firearms incidents. It would be interesting to me to see the data behind this.
