Scopes " across the Pond"

12 ft lb was an arbitrary figure plucked out of thin air when the firearms laws were formulated. Over 12 ft lb is a firearm.

All it means is that we have to have to obtain permission to shoot on suitable land for a firearm, get vetted by the police, fit a home office aproved gun cabinet in an aproved way, pay a fee annually and be subject to possible random inspections. 

Nothing really 😂
 
Sounds reasonable ! Because you never know "You could shoot your eye out with that thing"
