It’s hard to imagine a scenario wherein UK subjects would regain their natural and civil right to keep and bear arms. Forget a political remedy. At this point in Britain’s post-Empire evolution, gun rights restoration would require a total societal breakdown, including the collapse of The Land of Hope and Glory’s extensive police state infrastructure. That’s about as likely as a Page Three Girl taking tea with the Queen. Naked. (The girl, not the Queen.) That said, some UK subjects still have the desire to tool-up—as you might expect from a country that tops the European league table for violent crime. An island not without its fair share of rational human beings. Exhibit A: a telegraph.com poll asking its [right-leaning] readers which Private Member’s Bill they’d support. Number one with a bullet: repeal the ban on handguns. How about that, then? [h/t NorthernBrit]
I choose to have FA weapons but then I found out about the “law” that tells me NO. I am stuck in-between my desire to exercise my right and to remain “law abiding”.
Being a good, honest citizen is a PIA and is a moral restraint that we put on ourselves that our enemy does not have the disadvantage of.
For all those wanting a repeal on the handgun ban. 3D printers and hardware stores. Nuff said.
and yet 248 want to be controlled some more… No spitting?
I think you are unaware of how far things have declined in England. The violence is far, far beyond what anyone realizes, and the police are both insufficient and encumbered by a pro-criminal mentality. And many violent offenders are slapped on the wrist and sent back on the street.
If a no spitting law helps get the thugs off the street, then it’s a good idea.
It would make no sense whatsoever in America, but England isn’t America.

Once we were Eagles, we flew on high.
Once we served, and fought and died.
Once we stood, as warriors stand.
Once we were Eagles, above the land.
We donned our uniforms, and placed upon,
our strong young bodies, the mantles of war.
We sallied forth upon the winds, wings out-
stretched with talons sharp.
We served ourselves, and our comrades
dear. We were led into battles where
men bled and died. We were young
oh so young. But we quickly aged.
Once we were Eagles, we soared
towards the sun. Once we were
Eagles whom no man would cross
Once we strode straight and proud.
We who have survived, now live
with time. We search our hearts
our souls, and fear to tell those
we love of our feats.
Once we were Eagles, that
much can be said.

We should take a lesson from this, but unfortunately for most Americans no threat is real ’til it’s in the past.
I guess that would be a better option than hiding behind david bowie’s purse, Randy
The bill failed in Texas Legislative committee, by a vote of 3-1. There was a telephone meltdown at the Texas Capitol Switchboard.
Good, we welcome every single peaceable citizen to the fold. Every demographic we break into is a major victory, it weakens the fake them vs us image the media tries to put forward.
We need everybody in this fight. Great to hear they are doing so well organizing.
A welcome addition to the gun rights coalition.
Whether its 38 arrests or 46, that’s an epic amount of recidivism. Those who would strip us of our 2nd Amendment rights also lack the means or conviction to lock up this man and throw away the key. Hence, the need for armed self defense and the advocacy thereof continues.
I wonder if “I’m gay” counts as a “good reason” in CA and Co.
…Who am I kidding?
Contrary to mlopilato, I say: 100%.
If not because of massive state databases (cf., California), then because of this: http://guardamerican.com/index.php/blog/34-jurisdiction/510-the-quaint-idea-of-privacy
When “We the People” Re-take the Local, State & Federal Governments, after the Upcoming & Brutal Civil War / Revolution, from the CORRUPTED POLITICIANS to Re-Build a New Government ACTUALLY based on the Constitution this must happen:
We the People, MUST DENY any Former or Current POLITICIAN, any LAWYER or BANKER, from having ANY PART in the Re-Build of our Nation, Period! These 3 groups of People, are the Pricks that Destroyed what was once a Constitutional Republic and under NO CIRCUMSTANCE be ALLOWED to Forge our Destiny! In Fact, those 3 groups should be put in PRISON for CRIMES Against HUMANITY!
I think that MANDATORY ‘LIFETIME’ TERM LIMITS for ALL 3 BRANCHES of the New Federal Government, NO EXCEPTIONS! Also, NO Person SHOULD be ALLOWED to be President, Senator or Representative, unless they have SERVED in the MILITARY, unless said Person became Disabled by NO Fault of their own! If a Person has the Authority to Send our Children to War then that is WHY they MUST have Served at least ONE 3 YEAR Contract on ACTIVE DUTY!
This New Federal Government will CONTROL the CURRENCY of the United States and NEVER again Delegating it to a Privately Owned Bank! Any Debt, Accrued since the creation of the Federal Reserve in 1913 is NULL & VOID and We the People will be DEBT FREE from this Point on with a Mandatory Balanced Budget!
Long Live the REPUBLIC of the UNITED STATES of AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I make an ignorant claim about gun safety, can I get free simunitions training? Pretty please?
I read somewhere a long time ago that it is legal for anyone to make his own firearms (even fully automatic ones) as long as it is not for sale or transfer to anyone…
