Unlike the USA, where the legal rules and regulations around owning a gun are fairly relaxed, the Uk has some of the strictest gun laws. These laws began with the 1689 Bill of Rights. Its full and correct title is, 'An Act Declaring the Rights and Liberties of the Subject and Settling the Sucession of the Crown'. This bill states a set of rights which, as free individuals living in a democratic society, should be entitled to. Included in these rights is the right to bear arms for defence.
The Gun Licence Act
1870 saw the introduction of the Gun Licence Act. This act was solely created as a way of making money. It ensured that anyone who wanted to carry a gun outside their own home they, by law, were required to have a licence to do so. A licence was not required to buy a gun or ammunition nor was any reason to be carrying a gun required. It was thirty three years later before the 1903 Pistol Act came into force.
This act outlawed ownership of a gun to anyone who was deemed drunken or insane. It was fully titled as, 'An Act to regulate the sale and use of Pistols or other Firearms' , although this act applied to pistols only, defined by having a nine inch or less barrel (handguns). By law it was now required to produce a valid gun licence to buy or rent a pistol. The main problem here was that this licence could be bought by anyone at a post office over the counter therefore making little difference.
