The tightening of UK gun laws after Dunblane wasn't particularly effective, but the restrictions aren't especially onerous (ownership of guns only permitted for sporting purposes; handguns - which we have no great tradition of using - banned; police checks required for a gun licence; all weapons must be kept in a locked gun cabinet when not in use) and there's no reason to relax them (I speak as somebody who had a shotgun licence in my younger days, though I haven't fired a weapon for about a decade now). The big problem with gun crime at the moment is decommissioned firearms being recommissioned by dodgy gunsmiths for criminal gangs.
