It's worth noting that we Brits mostly never owned guns in the first place. The number "handed in" was minuscule. When I was a child, I never saw a single gun apart from in cowboy movies. Basically, they just made it a lot more difficult to buy or own one legally. Obviously that made no difference to those who wanted a gun for nefarious purposes.
All I can say is they turned in their guns too easily.
It may be time for an other Revolution. This time in both France and the UK.
