I think we used to have stuff about being armed, mandatory archery practice etc.
But we moved with the times.

One of the main drives behind the creation of the NHS was all the soldiers coming back after WW2 with a lot of them needing long term care.
The fact that the UK now had a large part of the working class UK population that was now hurting, angry and importantly still had their weapons including a lot of looted nazi guns may have lead to it's creation.

Yes just imagine if the fletchers and bowmakers had thought of bribing the government we might still all be packing longbows and having 2 hours of enforced archery practice every week.
We could all go Welsh hunting in Chester also, everyone trying to find a Welshman in the town of Chester after midnight.

Glad nobody ever tested it.

How about August bank holiday? we could organise a B3ta meetup and all chase you about Chester while trying to shoot you with longbows.
We could all shout nonsense about it being our rights and that you will take our bows from our cold dead hands etc etc..
