I'm not entirely sure what point you are trying to make, but in case you weren't paying attention, I am actually FROM the UK. I didn't just live there for a while, I was born there, grew up there and only emigrated to the United States when I was 29, so if you would like to educate me about what freedoms we enjoy in the UK, and how we were all stripped of our firearms by a fascist government, go right ahead, and I will be more than happy to correct your misconceptions afterwards.

And yes, before anyone links to it, I have watched that video about gun laws in the UK, and yes, it's mostly nonsense and the huge 'pro-gun' rallies they show taking place in London are actually people protesting about the banning of hunting foxes with hounds and horses.

Just like comparing healthcare reform here with a completely socialized health service in the UK, comparing gun laws here and in the UK is like comparing apples and oranges.
