This started just after WW2, The country was awash with guns as every demobbed soldier had to have a momento, usually a luger pistol or webley revolver.
There was a big outbreak of gun crime in the big cities so the government issued the population to turn in their momentos at their local police station.
But before and during the war there were gun shops all over the country and next to no gun crime.
"There was a big outbreak of gun crime in the big cities..." No internet for them to get to the bottom of that outbreak and see it was probably started by government thugs. Maybe after we're done here in America we can let the Brits know how "Fast & Furious" can work for good people instead of 3 letter agencies!
