Seeing as to how the Brits had to turn in all their real guns to the authorities years ago, this is just a continuation of that nonsense...In many cases, Brit gentlemen turned in ancient family heirloom firearms because of that stupid law...

Next time we bail them out, we may use replica B-17’s and ‘24s

I recall seeing old magazine ads from 1940 which asked Americans to donate their unused firearms for use by the British home guard. My understanding is that the British had gone through a period of civilian disarmament between world wars, leaving the nation exposed.

Oh well, maybe they can ask their criminals to do their fighting next time since they have appeared to have retained their weapons.

The Brits have good reason to fear effective weaponry in the hands of commoners:
