I did my homework last year when I was considering a job in GB, because, you know, in my view a country where you can't hunt is unfit for living, and I was surprised to find out how easy and reasonable the firearms control system was. In fact, it's much more easy and reasonable than in Russia. Except, of course, the handgun question - but that is, I feel, only because the absolute majority of the people don't want to own and carry a pistol, and would really mind if their neighbour did. If you believe in democracy and majority vote, you must give the people the right to vote against guns, too.
