Our second amendment was based on English common law:
The Second Amendment was based partially on the right to keep and bear arms in English common-law and was influenced by the English Bill of Rights of 1689. Sir William Blackstone described this right as an auxiliary right, supporting the natural rights of self-defense, resistance to oppression, and the civic duty to act in concert in defense of the state.

There's no such thing as English citizens. They are subjects. Which explains the rest of the story.

And one of them will be along, sooner or later, to tell us how wrong we are, and how dangerous this guy was, and how it's really not as bad as we think it is ...

The UK has guns, plenty of em. We have bad laws re guns, but we have a 2nd. The problem is we’ve allowed it to be chipped away at due to the patchwork nature of the British Constitution.
