The majority of the UK had guns readily available up until the great war.

[sic] there were no firearm restrictions in effect, but less than 1% of the population had firearms. The Firearms act of 1920 disarmed this percentage over fears of surges in crime, as well as worries that the working class would get too unruly

I don't know what % of the population had firearms but they were as you said no restrictions...and let's be honest...it wasn't about crime, it was about disarming the working class.
