Just for the record, let me point out how you described foreign immigrants coming to your country, and your desire to see them disarmed. If I recall, you called them "Saudi Arab Islamofascists".

And now you are a foreign immigrant in another country, and Lo! are disarmed by the local constable.

Oh, the irony...

No, what I'm saying is that a foreigner, myself included, should at least be checked out by the local police before they are allowed to keep a firearm - why do you have a problem with that?

In the UK, it is hard (if not impossible) for somebody to get off the plane from Saudi Arabia (say) and go and buy a shot gun in a store. Why should it it be easy?

If it turns out that he just some fat Arab prince that wishes to shoot grouse, then give him a license.

But if it turns out to be a young, single, crazy eyed individual, that looks as if he has just come out of an Al-Qaeda training camp - then "NO! Sonny" you can't have a license. And if I catch you with a shot gun then it's off to the nick (jail)!

Personally, I don't have a problem with that.
