Recent tightening of laws amount pretty much to a 100% ban on handguns. However thats not really the point as there was no tradition of gun ownership anyway. > whole "freedom of the press" issue may have been involved.

I'm sure some of your tax also goes towards public service broadcasting whether you own a tv or not. here at least you can opt out if you choose not to have a tv. Personally I find £100 a year good value for TV without advertising and on the whole good quality programmes.
