Britain’s citizens want their guns back.

Britain’s citizens want their guns back.

Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

    Too bad. They really should have thought of that before they gave their government the power to take them away. Since the state rarely surrenders power except at bayonet point, it is unlikely that ownership of firearms will ever be legal in Britain again. If necessary, the state will simply launch a massive campaign to re-educate the people into believing that guns are evil again. If that doesn’t work, they’ll just import a whole new group of (more subservient) voters to retain power.

    The above is why the Founders made owning firearms a constitutional right instead of just making it a law. Since it takes more than a temporary majority to take a right away, the citizenry is likely to stay armed (and thus the state polite) indefinitely.

    They can own firearms.

    Its just real expensive and very restricted. If you count GB as part of Europe its actually one of the more legally lax nations to own a firearm in.

    I think one of the more restrictive rules for gun ownership they have is the reason to own law.
    You have to not only have the place to use the gun but a reason to own it. Then you have to be signed off by your local law enforcement agency.

    Shotguns are actually more common than many think, many farms have them.

    Try getting a handgun into your own home in Germany. Its easier to get it through the airports.
