Because the answer is far from "obvious" and much more complex than a simple "yes" or "no".
As I've stated countless times, when it was legal to own handguns in the UK I owned three. I enjoyed going to my gun club range. In my time, I've shot every calibre from .22 to .50. I have no objections to stable and responsible people, being properly trained and vetted, owning firearms. What I object to is allowing any Tom, Dick or Harriett to acquire deadly weapons, with minimal vetting and no training, and being allowed to walk around in public carrying loaded guns as you do in the US.
Gun control in the UK works for us as a civilised society.
Hmmm...another grandmother......much tougher stuff apparently than British women....
