According to the Home Office ...

"Gun ownership is a privilege, not a right".

I've been searching for the English Bill of Privileges (1688) for some time now but can't find it anywhere .

Anything granted to you by an Act of Parliament is a right, not a privilege. Still, expecting wisdom at the Home Orifice is like expecting trains to run on time.

Yes, I'm just being mischievous.

It's Saturday night, I'm bored and waiting for the morning when I can go and exercise my privilege.

A right is inalienable, a privilege can be withdrawn !!!!!!!!
I believe that is known as a Freudian slip except that we actually don't have any rights in this god forsaken country.

This is the same stupid home office that denies that there is even a bill of rights in existence! (If they did the 1997 1987 acts are illegal and void ) However, MPs, civil servents and others love to hide behind the bill of rights when it suits them !

The 1968 act is a 'shell issue' - qualified right no ware in any of the firearms acts does it state a need or permission for a lieance only for the a person to be certified (legal under the bill of rights ) tell this to the sheep they would scream for more controls and bans because "we dont want to be like armerica"

And another thing what an idiotic name (the home office ) for a justice department! Rant over

So true ! Just expressing your freedom of speech these days can get nicked or probably having your ticket revoked !
