There isn’t truly reliable data on households with firearms. Gun owners tend to lie when surveyed out of paranoia that their guns will be taken.

England and France both have about the same level of poverty (approx 14%). The poverty line is set at 60% of the median income in both countries. Here, for example, it’s set at about 40%. So their poor are less poor, and there are less *of* them.
Both countries have universal healthcare. Both countries have strong welfare programs to help those who are underprivileged. Both countries lack things like heavy drug sentencing for possession. They both have a much smaller wealth/wage gap than we do, too. (It's getting worse.)

Simply put, they don't have gun homicides like we do because they have much better socioeconomic equality than we do. The poor aren't too poor, and the rich aren't too rich.

As things continue to divide there in terms of wealth inequality, my bet is gun crime/homicide rises regardless of gun-ownership levels. It may have already started. I haven't looked. My numbers are from The Guardian in 2012. But that's the answer to that one. Socioeconomics.
