Shotguns and rifles can be legally owned in the UK, which means they are easier to come by. You have to have proper criminal connections to get hold of the sort of stuff regularly used in mass shootings in America: pistols, semi automatics and the like, because there is no legal means of owning one, so there are no country sports shops where you can buy one. I imagine most farms have a shotgun somewhere - one could be taken in a burglary and then sold by a man down the pub, or something similar. I imagine this person’s internet habits made it easier for him to find someone willing to sell.
