I live in UK so this us a UK viewpoint.
After the Dunblane massacre where 17 were killed (16 children). We outlawed hand guns. Since then never been a school mass shooting in UK.
Australia introduced gun controls after similar massacres and the stats there show significant reduction in mass murders.
So I support gun controls.
I see no reason why anyone outside of competition shooting on a range would need a handgun. It, to me, is not a defensive weapon. I have to shoot first, but they know that plus can I shoot first am I 100 % sure they will shoot? I'd hate to be in that position.

@SW-User That requires political will, and popular support.

@SW-User Canada is much the same way, but there is a fringe that is influenced by the Americans.
