"the UK firearms law accurately reflects the will of the majority of their electorate"

I would seriously question this statement, in view of the latest UK-surveys on the right to possess guns. In addition to this, the UK firearms is an ideological piece of legislation which has demonstrated its complete ineffectiveness.

"What they need is a written constitution to protect them from the tyranny of the majority"

I don't see what a written constitution changes. See the written constitutions of Japan, France, Germany and even the USSR. No point in having any constitution in any form when men in charge do not follow it.
