With simple designs it's very easy to make guns. They could run parts off the CNC machines at night. It's just hard to organize with the total government control they have.
I'd argue that the only way is the military as per Q. We're beyond street fights with handguns, that could escalate into complete chaos which Q wants to avoid.
During WW2 Americans were asked to donate small arms to the UK. Funny how history repeats itself. The Brits should start getting into HEMA clubs because the Army isn't going to step in. I wish it were more popular in the US. HEMA looks like good fun, good exercise, and good community.
A club is a group formed by individuals who practice Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA), which involves the study and reconstruction of European fighting techniques from historical sources such as manuscripts and treatises. These clubs serve as the primary community space where members train, grow, and build relationships through physical conditioning, martial technique drills, sparring, and the practice of related skills like target cutting. HEMA clubs can vary significantly in focus, with many concentrating on specific historical periods or weapons, such as the longsword from the Late Medieval era or the rapier from the Renaissance. Some clubs may also explore military sabre systems, stick-fighting, or even armored combat.
Enter the British Lee-Enfield in .303. Safe, rugged, easy to shoot, accurate bolt action rifle that won two wars. I love mine. It helped the Tommy's whip the Gerry's. Time to unleash some withering fire upon the enemies of the empire.
We have guns in the US and we don't do shit. We constantly get fucked over by every politician and government entity as well as every shit skin who continues to flood into the country and we still do nothing. Having a gun is not the solution...
Thereafter the Brits voluntarily surrendered their legal weapons. Now...
We Germans never were armed. We`re safe by definition and when the definition doesn´t fit our politicians declare war on the real culprits! As did the Essen mayor who declared war on the knife!
Yes. This is the way forward..

The NRA donated a bunch of guns and they never returned them after the war they were collected and destroyed. IIRC
I had no idea about HEMA and had to look it up:

The last time the UK was armed by the USA was when the Boston Mob armed the IRA, I doubt if they would do that again.
Crossbows are nasty things, silent but violent.
Hell even a walking stick with a big brass knob on the end,would be a big step up.
