Home deliveries of knives bought online to be banned in UK

I did say i was finished with this thread but i can not let stanc get by with lies and misinformation, From the link you posted above "The Disarming Acts of 1716 and 1725, Great Britain Act applicable explicitly to the Highlands of Scotland" see stanc not England or Wales they were past to disarm Scotland and make live shitty for the Scots.

Was not Scotland part of Great Britain?

Now i will address the last one you posted the pic of the gun license law, From your link above; "The Gun Licence Act 1870 was created to raise revenue. It required a person to obtain a licence to carry a gun outside his own property for any reason. A licence was not required to buy a gun. The licences cost 10 shillings (equivalent to about £31 in 2005), lasted one year and could be bought over the counter at Post Offices". So it was a tax anyone could buy one at the Post office with no restrictions.

Still had to have one in order to legally carry in public. How, in your mind, is requiring a license to carry not a gun control law?

Remember what the Prime Minister said in 1900 "In 1900 the British government trusted the people with firearms and to be their own guardians. Prime Minister Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, the Marquess of Salisbury said he would "laud the day when there was a rifle in every cottage in England".

Yeah. Apparently he was in the minority, given the pistol law that was passed a mere three years later...
