Yes you cant even get a permit to have an unloaded pistol in your home after Dunblane. Many of my friends who are ex military and members of Gun clubs had to surrender their pistols and rifles. So why don't you look it up or are you too lazy to do so.
Fire arms used for hunting and culling have to be carried separate from their ammunition and can only be employed on sanctioned days. I have a low power .22 rifle for vermin control and the ammunition has to be in a locked box until I get to the land I can shoot on. My licence allows for 5 kills a year of cormorants on two separate venues.
Ah you meant handguns... Why didn't you say so asshole! HAHAHA
I believe the law related to handguns NOT rifles Phoney... A friend of mine handed in his pretty useless handguns to the police and bought a rifle from Russia with an accuracy of SIX miles... Hope you don't live that close to him ;-)
You have friends Phoney? HAHAHA
Damn, the police give YOU a licence to shoot Cormorants? Wow...
I'm impressed... NOT!! HAHAHA
this is how stupid and ignorant this subhumanity troll is:
"I believe the law related to handguns NOT rifles..."
Got a link to prove otherwise then dummy?

Firearms-Control Legislation and Policy Great Britain Law Library of Congress
Summary
Great Britain has some of the most stringent gun control laws in the world. The main law is from the late 1960s, but it was amended to restrict gun ownership further in the latter part of the twentieth century in response to massacres that involved lawfully licensed weapons. Handguns are prohibited weapons and require special permission. Firearms and shotguns require a certificate from the police for ownership, and a number of criteria must be met, including that the applicant has a good reason to possess the requested weapon. Self-defense or a simple wish to possess a weapon is not considered a good reason. The secure storage of weapons is also a factor when licenses are granted.
Great Britain has the reputation of having some of the tightest gun control laws in the world.[1] Only police officers, members of the armed forces, or individuals with written permission from the Home Secretary may lawfully own a handgun.[2] This stringent legislation may, in part, account for Britain’s relatively low statistics for the use of firearms in crime—in 2008–2009 firearms were used in only 0.3% of all recorded crimes and were responsible for the deaths of thirty-nine people.[3] This report covers the law relating to the lawful ownership of firearms and offenses for unlawful possession.
Firearms laws governing the country have generally been enacted in a reactive manner in response to massacres and overwhelming public support that backed the introduction of prohibitions on firearms. The laws cover a number of weapons, including handguns, shotguns, imitation firearms, deactivated firearms, and air weapons. This report focuses on the requirements to lawfully own a shotgun, firearm, or a prohibited weapon for residents of Britain.
Definition of Firearm
Section 57(1) of the Firearms Act 1968 defines “firearm” as
a lethal barreled weapon of any description from which any shot, bullet or other missile can be discharged and includes—
(a) any prohibited weapon, whether it is such a lethal weapon as aforesaid or not; and
(b) any component part of such a lethal or prohibited weapon; and
(c) any accessory to any such weapon designed or adapted to diminish the noise or flash caused by firing the weapon.
Through all your cleverness you are a real dumbass...
HAND GUNS are banned in the UK...
RIFLES are NOT banned!
It's pretty simple!
Idiot troll: "HAND GUNS are banned in the UK...RIFLES are NOT banned!"
Handguns are banned but not rifles eh? I guess rifles don't fall under the "firearm" category then?!
Dumbass undereducated MORON. It's no wonder you're a Pali Nazi supporter.
