123. I doubt it

the NRA-UK isn't the same as the NRA here. For one thing, it is about two decades older

At any rate, that is the Home Office policy since 1967. We were talking about murder rates. Some countries have high murder rates, just not with guns. See Russia and Mexico.


That's nice. Russia has almost no gun murders, yet has a higher murder rate as the US. Mexico and most of the island countries in the Caribbean have stricter laws than Australia and the UK, yet have astronomical murder rates. Most of Europe is not as restrictive as the UK, yet have lower murder rates.
New Zealand gun laws, where silencers are unregulated and they really do use ARs for hunting, are not as strict yet have a lower murder rate than Australia.
Iceland, Sweden, Switzerland, Norway, Canada, all have about the same rate of gun ownership as we do, about one in three homes. Finland is about one in two homes.
