It’s a good thing assault rifles are illegal in Britain

Very much so. They should be illegal everywhere as idiots like this are all over the globe!

You jest. But I’ve had an 8” flying saucer shot out by an idiot when I was doing some park flying. (The saucer body was a 3d printed replica of the OG Day The Earth Stood Still film,)

  1. it was 8” on diameter. 2) it was in a park loaded with kids

Fortunately it was bird shot and no one was harmed. But still.

Don't go to East Anglia believing that.

Tell me more

Farmers in East Anglia are authorized to be armed. Guns are quite available in the UK outside of the cities and the gun law allows for them.

True, farmers tend to keep a shotgun around in rural areas, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find a farmer with an AR-15.

The farmer who lived next to me had an SA80 A2, so yes, they have them and they are legal. They just have to get police permission first.

Interesting, I didnt think civilians would be allowed to own them. I'm guessing it was a single shot .22 firing cadet version?

As far as I understand, rifles are restricted to smaller calibers and automatic fire is outright banned.
