I admit that our firearms legislation is not very good, however, your comment doesn't make sense. There are many people in the UK who own firearms, unfortunately you have to jump through many hoops to obtain a firearms or shotgun license.
Basically a shotgun is a smoothbore with a maximum of three cartridges (two in the magazine and one in the chamber), whereas a firearm has a rifled barrel (i.e. a rifle), or a shotgun with a magazine capacity greater than described above. The only self-loading firearms (semi auto as you would describe them) we are allowed to own are .22RF and shotguns. There are also many other nuances in fact too many to describe here.
Enjoy have you have in the USA and I hope that the looney left don't try to overturn your 2A rights.
Built in walk-in vault in my house. More bolt action rifles and ARs than one man should have. Tens of thousands of rounds loaded. Match grade ammunition manufacturing facility, 70 acres, half mile rifle range. These are the things inside my perimeter. It's mine, it has my name on it. Not a foreigner, the UN, the U.S. military, or local law enforcement is going to take it. We can sit back and watch what happened to Great Britain and Australia and understand why we will NOT let that happen here.
So, once again, as a reminder, you are across the Atlantic. No one gives a shit what you think, you disarmed pussy. You allowed yourself to have to ask for permission.
Eat shit. Sit down and shut up.
