(November 25, 2012 at 7:03 pm)Stimbo Wrote: I know - because The Government wants to set up a totalitarian paramilitary police state and they need to make sure that the lower orders have no means of defending themselves. Seriously, that's why weapons defined into law as "restricted" or "offensive" carry such stringent penalties. What's your take on it?

While you're at it, what is the purpose of laws against illegal drugs, or fissile nuclear material, or anything else that laws prohibit? Now you have my answer to your original question.
If you are really interested into the origins of UK gun laws and why our society is the way it is, WikiPedia is your friend.

There are various reasons for those laws, not all the same.

However, since you aren't interested in engaging in the discussion, I will stop annoying you.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
