Ed Davey claimed the Reform UK leader would roll back gun laws and allow social media barons to ‘poison young minds’ if he becomes PM
A lot of the farming and hunting community are annoyed at the current state of gun laws. People who do actually use the limited range of guns in the UK for legitimate uses have to wade through paperwork, fees, wasted time and inconsistent rules to continue owning a gun. It’s also hard to be sure that you are actually complying with the law, because it’s so inconsistently applied to people.
For those that care about gun ownership, “cutting the red tape” is an easy win. Cutting the red tape and not making a complete hash of it all, that is going to be hard.

I don’t see why he’d roll back gun laws, an already disarmed populace is a benefit for him.

It’s about arming the “right people” to do the dirty work for him. Mussolini had his Blackshirts, Hitler his Brownshirts and Trump has ICE etc.
