I have noticed much more of a presence from GB here now, compared to when I was more active on this forum in the past. Now one has to make conscious note of where someone is posting from, as conditions (and laws) are much different, and purchasing seems to be hindered either way.

Twice in the past I’ve tried to initiate (off-line) conversations with folks from GB to explore differing attitudes toward weaponry, mostly to educate myself on the basis attitudes there, but also, to some degree, to try to correct some “wild west” misimpressions I detected about the conditions in the US. Neither conversation got very far… I think it’s a fascinating area for exploration, the attitudes that have evolved since our histories diverged (not long ago, in the grand scheme of things), but it’s difficult to find people capable of discussing it dispassionately from any viewpoint.
