UK was never a gun society in the sense that the US is.
Most owned weapons were sporting and low caliber rifles.
You can still own, but the BS and red tape, around ownership is a PITA.
Now only the bad guys have/use handguns and sawn-offs which they mainly use to kill each other, which is a bonus!
We have a knife problem though, and no amount of bans or legislation seems to be able to control that.
