And the source of their right is English common law and our own Bill of Rights ...

Nevertheless, the right to bear arms in the US is subject to licensing regulations, but it is accepted that they do not infringe the Second Amendment because the regulation of a right is not necessarily equivalent to infringing the right.

I think the same applies in the UK because the Bill of Rights is still in force, but our governments have been allowed to be more aggressive in their regulation of our rights.

We got 26 hits out of 30 rnds fired in one pass at 300 yrds one day, that Ayatollah target used to improve accuracy no end, target was fecked afterwards though, not much left to patch.

Not my words Chuck. It's the view of "legal scholars" in the US (whatever they are).
