It certainly is harder to own or use a Pistol/Rifle/Shotgun/Crossbow etc in the UK and I agree with Coolhand that that isn't such a bad thing. I didn't say weapon as I feel a weapon can be anything from a kitchen knife, a nine iron, your car!, a can of petrol and a zippo etc etc

They are still out there though and if you know where to look you can pick one up, unfortunately, even with all the tough legislation, and I agree with the Police on this, it has just ensured that the 'wrong' people now have the Rifles/Pistols/Shotguns in thier hands.

I train people to shoot, police forces, foreign military, security officers etc therefore my livelihood was at stake when I had to move my weapons to France (where I can legitimately license, store and use them and do a duty free run now!! ) It is a very emotive issue and one I feel very strongly about. Think about taking away everything in society that you could kill someone with for instance. Wouldn't be a great deal left! People kill people IMHO.
