The UK's gun crime percentile is low because firearms in the UK are heavily restricted; if anything, they're borderline outlawed. The idea that firearms are the primary tool utilized for committing violent crimes in human societies is largely a myth. If people are going to commit violence, they're going to do it a firearm. Additionally, when population adjustments are implemented, the UK is more violent than the United States:Humans are inherently violent creatures. Our ancestors have been kicking each other's asses and the asses of other animals long before gunpowder was even a thing.The militarization of America's police force is not going to solve anything. It's only going to make things worse, because you're going to begin to see more Ferguson-like cases as time goes on. The FBI site I linked above actually shows a downward trend when it comes to violent crime in the US.

is that based on UK, US, or mixed definitions for violent crime?

"In the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program, violent crime is composed of four offenses: murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault. Violent crimes are defined in the UCR Program as those offenses which involve force or threat of force."

murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault are the tracked crimes for the FBI.

"Violent crimes are those where the victim is intentionally stabbed, punched, kicked, pushed, jostled, etc. or threatened with violence whether or not there is any injury"

In the UK they do not track the specific offenses as much. This means that something in the US like simple assault would not be considered a violent crime while in the UK it would be.

Your citation of the UK being more violent is a common misconception based on using the same term in two places with slightly different meaning that greatly alter the information provided.
