You can own guns in the UK. Rifles and shotguns are permitted, you need a police certificate. Hand guns are verbotten! Very restrictive, oppressive, but you can own them.

Semi-auto rifles? Pump shotguns?

You may technically be able to own rifles in GB, but for all practical purposes you can't. I think you still can own shotguns with lots of restrictions although there are calls to ban them too, as well as air guns.

You can't even own airguns which are moderately powerful.
