Brits overwhelmingly want repeal of handgun ban
May 27, 2013

Well, well.

It seems Her Royal Highness’ subjects are very keen on repealing their nation’s ban on handgun ownership, which came about as a knee-jerk reaction to a mass attack by an evil man.

Since the ban and confiscation of handguns in 1997, Britain has seen a steadily increasing rate of violent crime. Gun crimes increased nearly 100% in the decade from 1999 to 2009.

The royal subjects are, as we mentioned earlier, keen to end the prohibition on handgun ownership. Asked about some key issues facing Great Britain, the poll below shows an overwhelming majority want to be able to possess handguns once again.

I bet some of the Brits surveillance cameras and red light / speeding cameras may feel the ping of a bullet soon. I guess they started figuring out why so many of our ancestors left their rock to come to the U.S after all...

If that ban is ever lifted, anybody with load of reasonably priced, serviceable handguns stands to make a fortune.
For instance, if the UK lifted their ban, how long do you think it would take to sell a 100k Ruger LCP9s?
