The first step should be to return the British their guns.

"The first step should be to return the British their guns."

Might be a neat trick as their guns have already been deactivated or smelted down to make chains and shackles.

How can you return something that we mostly didn’t have in the first place?

Even before the 1997 handgun ban, widespread gun ownership was not a feature of British society.

For the past 100 years, give or take, the only people who have been armed are the farmers, sports shooters and other country folk.

The idea that everyone in Britain was tooled up before suddenly evil government snatched them all away is innaccurate.
