there was some backstory.
Shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer told Sky News: "If they don't produce it tomorrow (Monday) then we will start contempt proceedings, this will be a collision course between the government and Parliament."
His shadow cabinet colleague Barry Gardiner told the BBC's Andrew Marr show the prime minister faced a "very serious constitutional crisis" if she refused, and the only answer was a general election.

If only they had taken up arms and defended their rights to self defense from the tyrannical government, rather than bury them so they could decompose for a few decades...
If I were you, I'd leave the UK ASAP.

Haha, yeah, you can. You just have to go through your local police department and apply for a license. During that application you have to show "good reason" for why you want to own one. Oh, BTW, self defense isn't a "good reason" why you'd want a gun, according to them. You can't have a semi auto over .22 caliber. They sell a gun similar to an AR15 called the M&P 15-22. The small caliber bullet makes it quite a bit less effective than the original.

The UK also requires a trigger release which adds a second step. Pull trigger once round fires pull it again it releases the bolt. This by no means is considered semi auto. The reason why is it takes two trigger pulls to fire 1 round.
When fired it holds the bolt open even when loaded until you release it by pulling the trigger again. Means using it for hunting multiple game is almost impossible. So claiming you can buy an ar15 and use it in the UK is not really true.
