I would love to b able to own a gun..UK does not allow it's citizens to defend themselves..we are just sitting ducks for the army of young illegal immigrants men that come in ...TPTB have protection of course
The way they are going we will all be attacking them with whatever we can find!!
Not true, you can own weapons in the UK. There's about 1 million shotgun holders, probably with 3 + shotguns each for game and clay shooting. Then there's those with firearm licences for vermin and bigger stuff like deer. Then there's the gun clubs for both pistol shooting and long rifles for target shooting.
Yes you have to fill out forms, get Dr's to fill out forms and in the case of owning rifle for vermin, deer etc you require land owners permission along with the police firearms unit to check out the land, back stops etc, and lastly the requirement to have the weapons properly secured.
But with a bit of effort you can own a firearm in the UK legally, I have for years.
Mate are you in the UK? First you need to go online and download a shotgun application. It recently changed, and the Dr's part is a real pain but fill out what you can and send it to the Dr's with the fee.
You will also need passport photo's to go with the application. Once it is all complete send it off to your firearms unit, it will probably take 8 weeks. I can't remember the fee, but it's somewhere around £100 with the Dr's fee.
Once you get it back, you can then buy a shotgun and cartridges.
