Hi MB
Yes it was hand guns that TPTB took off us, we can still own shotguns but they have made ownership more difficult with licensing and storage regulations, firearms do need a separate license, 22 riffles are reasonable easy to get, I believe fullbore riffles are difficult due to the need to justify their use, especially in urban areas, there is no wild game here except deer stalking in Scotland.
Thank you for the population information on the US, this is a real eye opener, we here have very little real knowledge of your country, we know of the big cities and the prairies the deep south and the national parks, but not the real context of your country.
We do not have have the severe weather patterns ( thank goodness ) that you do, however some of us remember our parents, after going through WW2, always keeping a well stocked larder, so that must be where the need to prep comes from. The “prepped gene”.
Take care.
