Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
Farmers in East Anglia are authorized to be armed. Guns are quite available in the UK outside of the cities and the gun law allows for them.

True, farmers tend to keep a shotgun around in rural areas, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find a farmer with an AR-15.
The farmer who lived next to me had an SA80 A2, so yes, they have them and they are legal. They just have to get police permission first.
Sometimes they even have sea mines.
Been deactivated, probably
Interesting, I didnt think civilians would be allowed to own them. I'm guessing it was a single shot .22 firing cadet version?
As far as I understand, rifles are restricted to smaller calibers and automatic fire is outright banned.
East Anglia farmers are crazy.
Everyone's packin' round 'ere
