The idea is to completely ban the ownership of firearms. the British did it one step at a time, over a period of years. It is against the law to defend yourself with a firearm in England. In 1999, a farmer, Tony Martin used an unregistered shotgun to shoot two burglars that broke into his house. He wounded one and killed the other. His house had been broken into many times and the police did nothing to stop the problem. He was charged with murder and sentenced to life in prison. "we don't need people to take the law into their own hands" was the reply from the police.
The right to defend ones self is seen as vigilantism in England. The Brits were ordered to turn in all their handguns and given 3 months to do so. after that the police were sent out to collect the handguns from those that did not comply. The police bragged that they collecter over 200,000 guns from the people.
This is what they will try to do here. One step at a time, and soon we will be like the sheep in England.
