It's pretty obvious which country is more dangerous.

No it's not. Most violent crime...especially murder by a criminal wielding a handgun takes place within a very well defined demographic. If you remove black on black crime (usually a black teenager shooting another black teen) our violent crime rate shrinks considerably. Where I live it all but disappears.

That applies even more so here in Britain - we in the UK are 92.1% white anglo-saxon whereas the US your population is only 81.7% white including latins and in the low 70's if you exclude latins. The criminal demographic defined by you is much smaller in the UK than the US.
