It's not that surprising to me, actually, since Britain is the most "Americanized" country in the EU, and they have gone a lot further in dismantling the welfare state than their continental neighbors, such as France, Germany, the Netherlands. Not sure about the correlation between restrictive gun laws, but I do find it interesting that they are trying to lay a portion of the blame on the extension of the hours in which liquor is allowed to be served. I remember how puritanical it seemed going out in London and being kicked out before 11pm for last call, which wasn't that long ago.
