Assault weapon, a term used loosely - a fully automatic weapon, such as M16, AK47, HKMP50...,

You can still own these if you can be bothered to jump through a lot more hoops with the Home Office.

Yes you can own a hand gun, and keep at home; but it has to be stored securely. You can own a 9mm for example.

Do Guns Save Lives?

Newsmax | July 7, 2002 | Dr. Michael S. Brown
"an interesting pattern in how many people successfully defend themselves with tiny weapons, like .22, .25 and .32 caliber handguns that are often derided by the anti-gun lobby as "junk guns" and "Saturday night specials." "

Nope, not in this country. Try again. There is a strict federal definition. What is it?

Assault weapon, a term used loosely - a fully automatic weapon

That is incorrect. Among other things, an assault weapon is defined as having a "select fire" switch. The ability to shoot BOTH single shot & automatic. Here in Connecticut you can have either, or. However, not the ability of both on the same weapon.

[Puppage]

BTW..Britain has the most severe "gun control" laws in the world.Not even members of the British Olympic Shooting Team are allowed pistols. The British are reduced to registered single- and double-barreled shotguns, and the maximum permitted shell load is birdshot.

But, YOU can own a 9mm as you say? NOT

"Yes you can own a hand gun, and keep at home; but it has to be stored securely. You can own a 9mm for example."

If, and only if you're a cop specially designated to do so. All others are forbidden. Remember the handgun ban after Dunblane, or did you miss that?
