My feeling is that it's press & political correctness.
Every time some deranged nutter did anything involving a gun they removed some , or a lot, of the freedom of responsible, law abiding gun owners.
Now illegal guns are fairly readily available & easier to get for criminal activities as many guns were simply not handed in (for destruction).
I think that to a certain extent your gun laws are seen as too relaxed, but ours are far too far the other way.
