You do NOT have gun control in England..you haveGUN PROHIBITION. Big difference. And, I would wager to say that other than calling an assault rifle "military like", you have absolutely no idea what defines an assault weapon.

Guns are not prohibited in th UK. The law, to make it clearer for you, doesn't allow fully automatic weapons, semi automatic weaposn are allowed.
Certain types of ammo are disallowed (such as dum-dum rounds) but you get get waivers.
You can own an AK47, for example, if it has been modified to fire only in semi-automatic mode.
In fact, you can get a license from the Hme Office to own fully automatic weapons - granted the process is involved.
