I find it very hard to believe that that would be a popular policy in the UK. Got evidence?

Yeah, even policemen rarely have guns in the UK, allowing everyone to have one would be lunacy.

You know we can own shotguns and full power rifles (303) in the UK.

Thankfully the armed police have very stringent training in the Uk.

Yes, you can, but you can't buy them at Tesco with zero paperwork.

And even larger I think. A chap I spoke to at lunchtime has a .308 for deer hunting.

What we can't have is pistols, apart from 20 or so people in the Olympic pistol shooting teams.

Farage mentioned it and decent proportion of Brexiteers would go for it.
