Well to make a long story short, all was well and free, then some religious nut jobs decided to ban fun and got the government to ban alcohol. So naturally just like drugs today, the criminals supplied the need and as always started a few wars between them and discovered that automatic weapons were useful in gang wars, add in a couple famous bank robbers at a time when the idea of police snipers was pretty much unheard of. Then as always the news media blew things hugely out of proportion to sell extra papers just like the do today to keep you watching the TV. The sheeple begged the government to save them from the big bad gangsters, the government agreed, using their new found end run around the constitution (the amendment letting them do pretty much unlimited taxation). So the government said sure, we will save you, we'll ban and restrict everything that looks "evil" (Guns too big, Guns too Small, Guns too Fast, Guns too Loud, Guns too quiet, Guns that didn't look right). Stupid people rejoiced, Liberals were delighted.
But being in England, you hardly have a leg to stand on. One known insane nut job shoots some kids and none of you have any hand guns anymore, and it's near impossible for the average non rich non connected person to get firearms and matching ammunition to hang on to at the same time.
