Gun control in the UK
A friend of mine who works in a gun store (UK - rural area) was telling me that following the Dunblane massacre the knee jerk reaction to gun control actually made the situation worse.
Don't get me wrong it wasn't that all regulation was bad and we should all be armed - just that once guns are out there it's bloody hard to make changes.

Maybe,
but it has happened. There was little-to-no gun control in the UK until the start of the 20th century.

Yeah
A slightly scary mate of my dads when I was growing up had a lot of guns. Did he get rid of them all when the legislation banning handguns came in after Dunblane? Did he fuck. I haven't seen him since he got banned from the local pub for flashing a .357 Magnum. The sort of people who generally want to own guns are the sort of people you don't really want to have them, and the sort who are very unlikely to agree to give them up.
