I think shotguns and rimfire rifles are all they can own in the U.K.

Thanks for finding that article. I couldn't find anything but gossip columns when I searched.
It's wonderful what you can buy when you have a lot of money and you haven't screwed up your life up by getting strung out on drugs, as so many musicians have.
