Yes it is WRONG to bring up the United Kingdom. It is a completely different place to the United States of America. The two places may have words that sound the same. And the United Kingdom certrtainly have its share of citizens that admires so much that is US of A. However when it comes to guns and ownership, there is a chasm.

What the US of A does is none of nmy business.

Simplistically in the UK: Any person can apply for a permit. The ownership of guns. FIREARMS, is not down to class, or nobility or wealth. It does not mean the application is granted positively. Usually any permits granted are for SHOTGUNS only for landowners, who need not be nobility or rich or of a certain class, for use on their land. The permit is for a Shotgun, not a rifle or an automatic side arm. The permit is for use only on their land. They are not allowed by law to carry it on their person to a public place or in their vehicle. When the gun is not required for use, it must be locked away.

An exception is if one requires a firearm for sport. Membership of the relevant sport is a pre-requisite; e.g. biathlon. Then the firearm is locked at the base for that sport.
