Interestingly in the UK we cannot use handguns at all. For anything outside single shot target shooting at a registered range.

This is called "europe" in everyday language! ;)

 Alas, I think the UK is just about to go DOWN.

This sounds plausible. I predict 4 difficult years with Starmer and socialism.
After that, if the Tories have bright and flexible minds, there will be a
coalition between Tories and Farage, and UK will be where sweden is now with a
center government supported by the nationalist sweden democrats.

 Hope you have a place way out in the countryside.

Legal firearms range from 12 gauge and even 20 gauge shotguns down through 410 'crow guns'  to game approved rifles. .22 is allowed for small game like rabbits, but a .25 is mandatory for deer and many people use larger.
 Naturally Britain being a very small country with a lot of people, strict codes of practice accompany game shooting.  It is illegal to shoot anything but bird shot upwards...

 Try the USA. You can own almost anything - and even
 get a license for .50 machine-guns. Probably won't
 even need that once Trump's people are in.

If I could move to red, rural and bible thumping US I would do so right now.
Sadly family commitments keep me chained to europe. =(

 In the PAST I'd have said the UK was 'less hazardous'
 and therefore less need for strong weapons ... but
 the news the past several years .........

Very little gun violence in the UK. However, seems to be a lot of sword and
knife violence! =/

 At minimum dude :
