whos says guns are banned in the UK

[Westside]

This is a picture of a inspected and approved "British standard gun cabinet. Guns and ammo are highly regulated you can only posses so much (whatever your Certificate allows), you can only buy so much per purchase (again whatever your Certificate allows and must be less then total possession allowance). and there are other rules you have to comply with. But I just thought I would share.

Ummm, guns are banned in the UK. Not much there is UK legal. Unless you get a 5 and you have to be tied to the Crown or the Parliament for that.

Haha looks like he's enjoying himself here! Must be quite the culture shock going from forms and regulations to handing over cash for a gun in a parking lot.

You should modify your OP. It's misleading. Since it's an expat living in Florida it's totally and completely irrelevant.
