The UK had a mass shooting. They banned guns and made owners turn their weapons in. After that, they had no more mass shootings.

Britain
In 1996, a gunman opened fire at a primary school in Dunblane, Scotland, killing 17 people. The handguns he had with him were owned legally with a firearms certificate.
The massacre led to a change in the law in Scotland, England and Wales which effectively outlawed all private ownership of handguns.
An amnesty led to the surrender of 165,353 licensed handguns and 700 tonnes of ammunition by the spring of 1999.
This built on law changes that had been introduced a decade earlier, after a mass shooting in Hungerford in the south of England, which was carried out with legally licensed firearms.
The law change following the 1987 massacre banned semi-automatic shotguns and rifles, and certain types of ammunition, and tightened controls on shotguns.
There has been one mass shooting in Britain since Dunblane - in Cumbria in 2010.
The Cumbria shootings was a shooting spree which occurred on 2 June 2010 when a lone gunman, Derrick Bird, killed 12 people and injured 11 others before killing himself in Cumbria, England. Along with the 1987 Hungerford massacre, the 1989 Monkseaton shootings, and the 1996 Dunblane school massacre, it is one of the worst criminal acts involving firearms in British history.
The series of attacks began in mid-morning in Lamplugh and moved to Frizington, Whitehaven, Egremont, Gosforth, and Seascale, sparking a major manhunt by the Cumbria Constabulary, with assistance from Civil Nuclear Constabulary officers.
Bird, a 52-year-old local taxi driver, was later found dead in a wooded area, having abandoned his vehicle in the village of Boot. Two weapons that appeared to have been used in the shootings were recovered. A total of 30 different crime scenes were investigated. The event was the most deadly shooting incident in the UK since the 1996 Dunblane school massacre, which left 18 people dead.
There was a rise in gun crime in the years immediately following Dunblane, largely to do with changes in the gun market including a trend for air weapons like BB guns.
From the early 2000s until 2016 there was a significant, and relatively consistent, fall in gun crime excluding air weapons in England and Wales. However, this was against a backdrop of generally falling violent crime in that period, so we cannot pin the fall on gun laws alone.
There have been small rises in gun-related crime in the past two years and violent crime in England and Wales has risen by 19% in a year.

Who gives a shit. Guns will never be banned here and they will never be removed from the people’s hands either. Try harder to stir shit next time. Your troll game is weak.

UK Swore to the People that police would not be armed as the people were not - since that would quickly be A BULLY PULPIT.
UK LIED - JUST A FEW YEARS LATER THEY ARMED POLICE TO THE bloody TEETH

put up a facebook ad "we don't need police all of our citizens are armed now, we only need a guard to make rounds to check on people"
THE TRUTH IS - POLICE ARE "SUPPOSED" TO MAKE LIFE EASIER FOR PEOPLE, TO ALLOW THEM TO GO ABOUT BUSINESS WITHOUT (WITH LESS) MONKEY BUSINESS (meaning - without needing a weapon)
BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE RAPING COST OF POLICE, YOU SEE POLICE HAVEN'T BEEN CONDUCIVE TO LIFE - THEY'VE BEEN A BLOOD SUCKING LEACH
it may well be that everyone should be (suggested to have) to buy a fire arm and mind their own safety and that of their neighbor
the cost of police? it's not the cost of officers. it's the damn research programs, the courts, the endless "political contracts" under the "name of police". it's huge.

BILL CLINTON. the cost of police used to be moderate
but with clinton, government got to create programs and specify their own pay and merely "justify debt in terms of future payoff" (rape children's futures). pay is allot higher than it was especially for those "higher up", doing contracts (ie, police uniforms), etc.
CLINTON TURNED POLICE AND FIRE FROM HELPERS OF SOCIETY INTO RAPISTS
(ie, San Bernadino was famous for getting in the news, after a fall to debt due to railroad closures, for HAVING A FIREMAN MAKING .25 MILLION A YEAR. interviewed on camera the man said "i'm better qualified is why")

this thing about "being better qualified" is just another broke joke of democdrats
it insinuates that all past government workers had no SKILLS
which is totally in-appropriate - they had tons of skill and used them to the same effectiveness as today's gov workers
