Irish gun laws are probably as prohibitive of ownership as in UK. These villagers would have to take up pitchforks & scythes.

Exactly ! I’ve said it many times, that, just because the state may have confiscated ALL the citizen’s firearms by whatever draconian measures they may use to make them unobtainable, the citizen with the need to defend himself, his family and his culture will find a way to arm himself with whatever weapons may be at hand.
No guns ? Pitchforks and scythes indeed ! So too knives, spears, clubs, cudgels and rocks. All can be used with deadly effect, the citizen just needs the WILL to use them.
