I know you like to live in a dream world and I don’t blame you. If I lived in the UK I would just stay on crack 24/7 to delude myself.

For all intents and purposes there are no guns allowed in the UK. By the time you go get your blunderbuss out of the lock box and load it you would be dead. Yeh you can have a handgun at a gun club locked up where you can’t get to them if you need them. But the criminals in the UK have guns.

Your ignorance is embarrassing. I am actually laughing at you whilst I write this. Sorry, but its true. I doubt you could find the UK, let alone have ever been here. Your ‘knowledge’ of the UK is clearly based on what you read here, along with James Bond films, Benny Hill and old Sherlock Holmes films. Maybe a bit of Python and the Beatles.

Firstly, I am British, ex military, and a gun owner for 26 yrs. I know my country and its gun laws. Better than you.

Secondly, UK gun owners are allowed to keep any weapons in a gun cabinet, which can be anywhere in the home. Mine is about a foot and a half from where I am typing this!. UK gun owners have a cabinet either in their living room or hall, just as YOU do in the US.

As to guns, only assault rifles and some handguns (mainland, not Northern Ireland or islands) are banned. Contrary to what Americans believe, the Brits still have most of the guns they had 20 years ago.

And yes, I opposed and oppose any UK gun bans/new laws.

I know my country has problems. I also know yours has many more, and for Americans to lecture us on societal problems is at times equally annoying and breathtakingly hypocritical, even laughable.

I also know that whilst my country has problems, that I know them better than a bunch of Americans in cyberspace who don’t live in the UK and have never even been to the UK.

I also know that whilst my country may have problems, that some of them, whilst problematic, are not as serious as the hysteria from the US of A suggests.

“I know you like to live in a dream world and I don’t blame you. If I lived in the UK I would just stay on crack 24/7 to delude myself.”

LOL.

That poster, who claims to be an expert on all things UK should really go over to Democrat Underground where his views would be better appreciated.

Personally I have NO desire to sign up to a conservative blog originating in the UK.

Ooops, oh never mind I think the only blogs that they have in the UK are Muslim now.....sarc.

“After Christianity, Islam was the most common faith with 42.6 thousand people in Scotland describing their religion as Muslim”
