Amid the outpouring of grief over Cox's death, many expressed shock about the shooting in a country where gun violence is rare. Debates on social media centered on whether the incident indicates that UK's gun laws, which are strict in comparison to the US, are ineffective.

Today's shooting of #JoCox doesn't mean UK's strict gun laws don't work. Isolated incident, report gun may have been homemade. #gunviolence
