<strong>The current rules seem already to be a disgrace to the good & honest Dutchman... And what comes next? UK standards? I wouldn't want to live in a country in which I'm a presumed criminal unless I can prove my innocence. People who draft such laws do not make (or even know) the difference between an honest person and a criminal. It's shameful. This is no democracy.</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana,Tahoma,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva">Democracy is the source of these problems. As enacted by the Parliament, the UK firearms law accurately reflects the will of the majority of their electorate, even as it betrays their inalienable individual rights. What they need is a written constitution to protect them from the tyranny of the majority.
