Good thing average citizens in the US willingly sent arms to the British citizens during WW II so they are now well armed to fend off an assault by isis. Oh. Never mind. After WW II the dumped those evil weapons in to the sea. Commoners couldn’t be trusted don’t you see. Tut, tut, cheerio.
No, they didn’t, this is a myth I myself have constantly corrected on FR.
When the British Home Guard didn’t need the arms, they were shipped off to be melted down as part of British war production. I’d love to know where this in the sea nonsense started.
