  The UK didn't really have mass shooting incidents all that frequently even before their bans. The only two I can think of are Hungerford and Dunblane, which were spaced out over nine years. Additionally, the vast majority of the incidents on that page are not mass shootings but instead the political "four people shot" == mass shooting. The two largest "mass shootings" on that list were acts of terrorism, as we saw in France terrorists don't even need firearms to kill scores of people.

There have been major restrictions on handgun use in the UK since 1968, well before Hungerford and Dunblane. > but instead the political "four people shot" == mass shooting. Are you pretending to be innumerate just to make a point? Or are you expecting me to believe you honestly can't subtract the two "acts of terrorism", just count the ones with more than five people killed, and still see that it's massively more than five times the UK number?
