In what regards does England have less restrictions than the USA ? Rifles or shotguns - no paper work from one individual to another. Same with pistols as long as the buyer has a conceal carry permit. If any are bought from a dealer then some paper work is filled out. Air guns - nothing. With the proper paper work full autos can be owned. Our local sheriff ran a ad in the paper selling all of theirs because they were getting new models. Don't get no better than that.
