Gun culture in UK uk is so different to the US like I’ve never shot in the US but videos I’ve seen about guns that are filmed in the US (most of them) are just kinda…. Dodgy. Like ik it’s YouTube and you need to be entertaining but like they’re so careless and their gun safety is a lot of the time (but not always) minimal. Also the US NRA is a whole different beasts compared to the UK NRA like the UK one is basically just an organisation that runs ranges and provides services to individuals and governments services, unlike the US NRA which is a massive nationwide political lobbying organisation.
Also ignore whatever Americas say about British shooters. They say that we are ‘oppressed’ and ‘hate our gun laws’ which are both lies. All the shooters I’ve met are VERY happy with our gun laws. I mentioned how it would be cool to be able to shoot pistols and the range leader explained that he wouldn’t want pistols to be allowed because it would enable more tragedies. People in the UK experienced the Dunbane massacre and restricted gun laws (albeit ours were quit strict by then anyway and had been since 61’). Then years later we had the Cumbria massacre this just strengthened the idea we need gun control. It’s not the government who chose to put these laws in it was the people. The British public lobbied the government to tighten gun laws and polls proved that people didn’t want guns. Sure it would be cool to shoot a handgun but if it enables the murder of school children I’ll stick to the rifle.
And that’s why we don’t have any school shootings nor a gun death rate of 14/100,000 (our is 0.05/100,000)
