Not only does it come at a time where both US and UK media made a big deal about guns being made illegal in the UK, but the scene is also surrounded by a bunch of flashbacks of John Watson, being in the war and him experiencing a bunch of PSD flashbacks about a bunch of war trauma, so it’s not exactly a mystery as to what’s going on in the scene.

The show came out in, I think, 2006, so this is all contextualized around the war in Iraq, in which the UK military played a big assist to the United States military in that theater. This article has some serious myopia in talking about this subject.
