I didn't intend for this to be a one up between our two countries.

The gun laws and restrictions here are often as asinine if not more so than in Great Britain or elsewhere. In fact, tac and I discussed and compared the laws between the U.S. and G.B. fairly extensively during his recent visit here.

Certain handguns to be legal in G.B., are required to have a rod attached to the butt of the grip to make them an overall legal length. That same handgun here in the states could be classified as being a stocked (illegal) hand gun by merely attaching a butt plate of some sort to the rod.

He can't own a .357 hand gun, however he does legally own a .308 Tactical Sniper rifle.

During the assault rifle ban imposed by daddy Bush, we couldn't buy any assault rifle type firearm that had a Falsh Supressor, Bayonet Lug and detachable magazine with a capacity of more than 10 rds. You could however own one with two or fewer of these features, but not all three.

Who lays awake at night, or sits behind a desk picking their nose and thinking up this crap.

And before this goes off subject and gets political. George Bush Sr. (conservative) got the assault rifle ban passed. Bill Clinton(liberal) signed the bill into law. Sarah Brady(conservative) wrote and got the Brady Bill signed into law. So both sides have and do share responsibility in this bonehead crap. Even "W" was against letting the assault rifle ban expire.
