No. All these countries had crap loads of guns. UK is a good example.

Interestingly enough, you can still purchase rifles and shotguns in the UK… you can even purchase an AR-15 or a Beretta ARX 160 legally in the UK so long as it’s chambered for .22LR and approved by the police. You just have to tell them it’s for a shooting club; not self defense.

When the UK passed their laws, it was more targeting handguns.

One of the biggest problems around guns in America is the culture. Dickbags seem to want to associate manhood with the usage of this one specific type of tool.

You can buy pretty much anything in the UK if you meet legal requirements. People have machine guns and even bloody tanks. But they have them for a good and valid reason and don't go on killing rampages.

Guns regs don't mean no guns. Gun regs mean no guns for idiots.
