Aborted

I skimmed it, thanks for the interesting read. I don't see how reading an article on the gradual erosion of British gun laws based on American concepts of civil liberty teaches me anything about my own country, however. In the long run, the views of American scholars aren't going to affect the law here. I also wasn't overly impressed with the author equating the removal of our "right" to own a gun with "a slide down a slippery slope". I see owning a gun as neither a demonstration of civil liberty or a right, but that's a subject for another thread and one in which I doubt my view would find much sympathy.

However, interesting though it is, it doesn't change the fact that guns are not in mainstream circulation in England and haven't been for some time. My point remains unchanged.
