The left absolute HATE these laws. They want Americans to be a punch of cowering pansies like the Brits have been reduced to.
To them 100 dead or raped victims is preferable to 1 unjustified shooting in self-defense. It’s essentially the way they feel about the death penalty, but twisted around.
The only way to fight them and beat them on this issue is to make sure that EVERY good guy spends at least some time on the range holding and firing a gun. They make nice wedding gifts too.

We’ve come around a bit since the coalition gov’t issued “guidance” that people who kill in self-defence inside their homes should not be prosecuted provided they were in reasonable fear of their lives.
There have now been several cases where people have gone free after stabbing home-invasion burglars and attempted strong-armed robbers to death.
Of course the firearms laws are absolutely idiotic in that they guarantee its impossible to use one in a realistic home-defense scenario and unfortunately I don’t see any relief on the horizon.
I love to shoot (spent 20 years in the US) but refuse to apply for a permit here because getting one gives the police the right to enter your home at any time, at their sole discretion, to inspect your storage locker (which must be government approved and kept locked). They can also seize your guns at any time, for literally any reason, again at their discretion.
Its absolute madness.
