∙ 13y agoNo. The United Kingdom has some of the strictest Gun Laws in the world. Residents can own certain types of gun with a licence, if they are to use them for sporting purposes. The 'right to bear arms' is an alien concept to most European countries.
In the 19th Century, there was hardly any gun restriction. However, as there was never a Revolution and shooting sports were restricted to the upper classes, firearm ownership was limited. During the 20th Century, strict laws were enacted to restrict firearm ownership, in line with most other European countries. After shooting incidents such as Hungerford in 1987 and Dunblane in 1996, these laws were tightened further still.

However historical guns etc are legal to collect if you have permission from the Home Office.You can get Crossbows if you are 17 or over (no permission needed from the Government.) You can get single shot Rifles and Shot guns for hunting (etc) but you have to be 18+ and you need a good reason to have one and you have to have an interview with your county's police force and you the licence is very strict.
