Citizen, err rather, “subject”, let me know when you can walk down to even a local hardware store, pick out a handgun, rifle or shotgun, fill out one form, wait five minutes, lay down your cash and walk out with anything from a mundane 30/30 or 22LR revolver to a AI 338L or Barret 92 etc...
Till then, keep yer damn “subjective” mouth shut. Here, it is NOT about sports, but it can include them.
This post was for discussion, coming out of an exchange of views with an American friend who was astonished I could buy a semi-auto shotgun in the UK. I am not attacking US gun ownership or claiming ours is better - it manifestly isn't.
Besides, I'll do as I please as a paying member of FR - I don't need your permission or approval.
