In places like England or Japan common people have never had the freedom to own weapons.

Thats not true, most western style democracies allow you to posses guns, what mainly controlled, unlike the US, is the type of firearms. Its not about freedom, in most of Europe for example, it is the general public that force increased gun control( such as a ban on pistols, and large calibre fireams). Its not about governments controlling it, its the public. This is a point that US gun advocates simply dont understand.
The fact is that the public , in most western democracies want gun control and quite severe gun control at that. If fact if you polled such citzenry they would actually opt for a complete ban.
