The United Kingdom has one of the lowest rates of gun violence deaths in the world, and it also has one of the strictest sets of gun restrictions.
Gun violence and gun laws have played out differently in other countries around the world. One notable example is just across the pond in the U.K.
In Britain, knives are the primary weapon used for violence by criminal groups and accounted for 2 out of every 5 killings, also in 2019. By comparison, only 33 people were killed with a gun that year. The U.K. may not have a similar gun culture or gun lobby seen in the U.S., but there is a strong hunting community there and has been pushback to stricter gun laws in the past.
But the momentum behind the popular gun restrictions was driven in response to mass shootings. Parliament took swift action in the aftermath.
