As noted before, you are stating something that is obvious and statistically and logically inconsequential to the discussion of the reasons why having guns is a good thing.
Obviously, if we have no/few guns like Britain and France, then we will have a low rate of accidental deaths with a firearm. if we get rid of our cars, we will have a low rate of deaths in car accidents. Is that a good reason to get rid of our cars?

If we get rid of our airplanes, we will have a lower rate of deaths in airplane accidents. And, we won't have to worry about hijacked planes being used to kill us and destroy buildings. is that a good reason to get rid of airplanes?
Pencils don't spell incorrectly. People do.
Cars are not responsible for drunk driving. The alcoholic beverage industry is also not at fault. The idiots driving drunk are responsible.
Spoons don't make you fat. It also isn't McDonald's fault.
Guns don't kill people. People kill people.
