Welcome

This website exists to promote responsible gun ownership in the United Kingdom for self-defence purposes and to lobby the government to have the existing UK gun laws repealed or relaxed.
The site also exists to dispel the untrue myths concerning gun ownership that have been put forward by the UK newspapers and other media.
In 1997, the UK governments imposed a nationwide ban on the purchasing and ownership of all handguns following the gun massacre in Dunblane, Scotland.
At the time we were told by the authorities that such a ban would make the UK a safer place for everyone. When you consider that promise from politicians, it's clear that it has
been a massive failure. In fact, it's now made the UK into a far more dangerous place to live.It's important to remember that guns are not the problem, criminals are. If guns are responsible for crime, does that mean spoons are responsible for making people fat ?
The fact is that when you ban
weapons from society the only thing you succeed in doing is leaving decent law-abiding people
defenceless. The criminals remain armed because they don't obey the law,
remember - when guns are outlawed, only outlaws have guns.
In turn, this actually encourages
criminals to commit more crime as their job becomes much easier when they know
they'll encounter no resistance from their victims. As former
US President
Thomas Jefferson once said - "an unarmed man may be attacked
with greater confidence than an armed
man."
One thing is clear, we need to
try a new and different approach to crime, as the current method is proving to
be counter-productive. Continuing along the current path will result in a very dangerous
and completely disarmed country, where criminals rule the streets and good,
decent people live in fear. The idea
of allowing citizens to own and use firearms for self-defence
purposes is controversial but despite what the media want you to believe
it's proven to be very successful in reducing violent crime around the world,
with particular success being noted in the United
States.
Huge decisions such as this should be based on a
knowledge of the facts. Unfortunately British attitudes regarding gun
control are seriously
misguided, and there is a great
deal of ignorance in society towards
guns as self-defence tools. This ignorance seems to be widespread throughout the UK. This is something that I hope to be able to
change by presenting the facts surrounding responsible gun
ownership in a clear and easy to understand manner. Please take the time to explore this website
and consider all the points made in it before dismissing this idea, I think you'll be be
surprised at what you
learn.
