“You said the UK dosent have guns. I have pointed out many times on FR that the UK has 2.3m legal guns. You are talking to the owner of two of them.”

Your propaganda is well known. The UK outlawed handguns. Got any of those? Exactly what two guns do you own? Exact year, make and model. The UK outlawed you to use them to defend yourself, to carry them, or to use them except in the most strict compliance with hunting laws.

Propaganda is lying because when you don’t tell the expected whole truth you are lying, trying to deceive, liar.

Handguns are mostly illegal (some exceptions) on the UK mainland, but are perfectly legal in NI. As is concealed carry in NI. NI has the best gun laws in the UK.

Handguns licences in the UK mainland are allowed, but are a minority (just 546 in Scotland for example). Concealed carry IS allowed, but with a permit and usually only for exceptional circumstances.

Most of the 2.3m UK weapons are rifles and shotguns. Which is historically what most UK arms have been (handgun ownership has always been of a minority). I own one rifle and one shotgun, for which I have a licence.

UK guns do not have to comply only with hunting laws, as long as you have a licence and keep the guns in a secure cabinet, you are ok. Many UK gun owners (as I do) use them on shooting ranges (I shoot at two local ranges and am member of three Ayrshire gun clubs).
