Gun laws not changing after every mass shooting incident
Doesn't necessarily need to. Would open the door to many other awful laws based on single cases. Found a single case of gay men sexually abusing children? Ban homosexuality act enacted. Some gamer shoot up a school? Gaming banned.
The UK might have banned consensual extreme pornography after one death, but it shouldn't be the norm. If anything, it should be seen as an infringement on human rights by anti-rights activists.
Guns are unique. Every other country tightened gun laws when a mass shooting event happened.
