:P

You forget, you got the life and liberty bit from us. The good dental care - well, that’ll take some serious time.

What everyone forgets is, up until Hungerford and Dunblaine, we had the right to own arms. Actually, we still do, just incredibly heavily licensed and regulated. Those I would like to see reduced - not swept away, we are a different country with different problems, and one size does not fit all - but made more reasonable.
I hunt, both rifle and crossbow. Own my own .303 Enfield, which lives in the gun club most of the time and I am not allowed to have it or ammo for it at home at all. My crossbow, sure, that hangs by the door, despite it being just as deadly and a heck of a lot quieter.

It is a strange system.

MY Enfield lives in MY safe.
Alongside its brother, and German cousins.
Feed, too.

“...up until Hungerford and Dunblaine, we had the right to own arms.”

I have to disagree with your statement. If your government took away your right to bear arms it wasn’t a right to begin with, only permission from the government.

The operative concept is human beings, not countries. And in the case of human beings and self-defense rights, one size does indeed fit all.
