So, please, share your BBC interview.
I don't know if it is on the internet, but I think I heard the interviews that he is talking about.
I try to supplement a half hour a day of either BBC or France 24 English to my primary news diet from PBS, to ensure that I stay aware of what is going on outside the US.
One person was asked if gun control would be worth it if it saved even one life. The reply was something along the lines of: "No it wouldn't be worth it to lose our freedom, and the person who was killed in your hypothetical example should have been carrying a gun to defend themselves."
The other person was asked about all of the lives lost to gun violence every year. The reply was something along the lines of: "So what? What about all of the lives lost to heart disease every year?"
I think the answer to the second question could have been improved upon. My reply to the second question would have been: "So what? They'd be just as dead if they were killed with knives."
The reply to the first question was pretty sound though.
