Maybe the part about England doing it for the point of safety (though I don't really agree, I can at least see that part having some attempt at truth in it), the second part is pretty silly. We don't have relatively liberal gun laws because the gun manufactures want it that way (though I'm sure their lobby helps), we have relatively liberal gun laws because there are millions of Americans that enjoy the various gun based hobbies AND the people that wrote our Bill of Rights thought it would be a good idea to write it down so future governments would have a harder time taking them away.
