I man lets be serious. You are not even allowed to own any firearms, above a .22 I believe. You have more cameras watching your public than I bet
North Korea does. And now you are being forced to have a national identification, which can be good or bad.
With a firearms license and proof of needing one you can have a .308 rifle i think it is. It's needed for control of deer populations. With a shotgun
certificate you can own well shotguns, but no pump actions allowed.
Pistols are prohibited above .22 and then only for sport shooters competing in professional sports. Actually i am not to sure about this one anymore i
think it might have changed and maybe no pistols are allowed now. There was a hand gun ban but i thought .22 was exempt under certain situations.
Air rifles are also being talked about being licensed. IT's shocking really, i am all up for raising the age limit on them but licensing is truly
stupid. Someone like myself who buys a £500 rifle doesn't use it to shoot cats and young children.
It's again a stage towards trying to remove all arms from responsible people.
The american government already has my DNA because I was an asshole teenager and I have been convicted of felonies and jailed. The only thing I
am against is if I am required to carry it on me at all times. Knowing Britai this will be the case. Seriously you guys need to get rid of that queen.
Banish her from your coutry or something. Oh wait you don't have any firearms anymore 

This isn't the queens ideas it's Tony Blairs and his pitiful excuse for a government. The queen is actually quite a mute power in many areas of law
now. Although i believe she still has considerable power concerning land.
I really feel sorry for you guys, because orwells world will become a reality there far sooner than any other civilized western nation.
Our citys are littered wth cameras. You wouldn't actually believe it and most people don't notice. Go to varies citys and look up and around you and
i guarentee you will see more cameras in that 360 degree spins then you will at euro disney.
Look if you guys really dion't want these things, just organize huge rallies where you burn them in public areas. And if the police beat you down,
start rioting. They will have to cave or begin murdering your population. I tell you if they start doing that than we'll just have to liberate and
bring democracy to Britain too.
If you are American then you won't bring much here no offense but freedom isn't your strong suit. That aside (i couldn't resist the little poke
there sorry), our laws are so draconian that rioting and protests don't work anymore. The government sees a protest, laughs and then does whatever it
wants. It's rare we get our own way and if they have something they want pushed through then they will get it in the end.
Let's also remember that most people in this country simply don't care about what their government is doing. I am 20 and most people i speak to
between the ages of 15 and 25 really don't care. They don't vote, they don't read, they don't give a damn. They get their news from the tv and
give little thought to things like freedom. They think the government know best, they also seem to think we serve the government, which really
worries me.
