That was the question I asked elsewhere, Raedwulf: Do people in the UK and other countries that have restrictive gun laws feel UNfree? I see no difference in each others' perceptions but from the US blogging industry one gets the notion that if you aren't allowed all the guns you can afford and not allowed to take them anywhere you please, that somehow you are not free.

I can think of a dozen things that might restrict my freedoms but gun laws are not among them.
