RE: The Homestead Gets A GIFT - Yes Americans OWN GUNS, Lots Of Guns!
You can always move to Canada, while it's still pretty restrictive in Canada it's also more flexible than the UK. For example if you have your firearm owner registration cards, you can walk into a gun store and buy an Israeli Tavor Rifle and exit with it right away which you oddly can't do with an AR-15. In Canada an AR is a Restricted firearm which requires a special license and can be only used at a certified firing range, however a Tavor which is basically a redesigned M4 to fit into a bullpup format is an unrestricted rifle that you can freely shoot in private property in a properly zoned area away from where people live. As a British Subject its easy for you to move to Canada which is culturally the perfect half way point. Plus it's easier to promote gun ownership in Canada as it's a loose Federation and people are thinking about splitting the country in the near future. Not to mention most of the population lives 100 miles away from the US border. You can always drive down and shoot real guns at a range in most states like Nevada.
I'll have to look closer at that again as we looked at Canada but I think the restrictions and paperwork made getting citizenship really difficult. We were looking at the extreme north of American anyway (Washington/Maine/Vermont) - grabbing some cheap woodlands and setting up a cabin. As rural as we can get while still having internet!
Perhaps, I'm considering moving back to Canada so I can spend time with family, though I would prefer BC just because it's the most American sounding province. I live in a communist state anyways so with the attacks against the 2nd amendment it would be like I never left home.
