That settles it.
Queen Elizabeth is the incarnate "Red Queen". |

The Queen has sod all to do with it, as the Monarchy these days is purely symbolic & a money making attractor of foreign tourists.
Take what the NRA says in this article with a large pinch of salt, as it's full of omissions, inaccuracies & use of information out of context.
Put it this way: If I suffer a home invasion right now & one of those involved comes at me with a hammer or knife, then he'll be met with a 130gr Sierra Game King & I will assuredly NOT be going to jail for doing so.
The right to self defence is alive & well in the UK:

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
