It is. But our UK friends are under a much more difficult and restrictive regime, and do not have the luxury of constitutionally guaranteed gun ownership.
That having been said, our (U.S.citizens') constitutional guarantee of gun ownership is worth about squat. Recall the illegal confiscations from gun owners in not-flooded neighborhoods of New Orleans after Katrina. Those folks turned over their shotguns, hunting rifles and registered handguns when faced with military personnel at their doors with automatic weapons.
American citizens, armed. Not a shot fired. What hope do we have?
