United States of America Super Power of the World's stance:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
In America the citizens have many freedoms for firearms by far more than any other country. However, there are restrictions on fully automatic weapons and certain assault weapons.
United Kingdom has the toughest gun laws in the world. You can not own a firearm that has bullets. You can use these weapons if you are a member of sporting clubs and these weapons are secured and controlled. All semi-automatic weapons are illegal. Possession of a handgun is illegal and possession is an immediate five year prison term.
Why have we let so many people dictate to us what we have the right to have as free responsible adults is absurd. We elect people in some sort of way to make laws that bind us together. Even if we don't live in a country to which we elect leaders we still have the ability to revolt and take back what is ours.
Who should tell you that you don't have the right to defend your home, your family, your Haven? No one. Stop letting the few make decisions for the many.
I live in America as a United States Citizen. We do have the right to bear arms. If you live in a country where you don't have these rights I would suggest that you peacefully seek to change these laws. You elect these people you are in a control.
