"As a general rule of law, Acts of Parliament do not bin
the Crown or its servants unless specifically stated as
doing so. The Firearms Acts 1968 to 1997 therefore do
not apply to Crown servants in general.
In this respect, Section 54 of the Firearms Act 1968
does not exempt Crown servants from the general provisions
of the 1968 Act. Rather, they are already exempt, and if
Section 54 was not included they would continue to be
exempt. In particular, as Section 5 is not named in Section
54 it would not apply to Crown servants."

How about that though. Parliment takes away our right to a gun,
self-defence, drinking after 11pm, etc. and then says that
they can't be breaking the law as they don't apply it to
themselves. Quite intriguing. The police are allowed
firearms and the right of arrest under common law, but the
"real" law has superseeded common law for the common man!
Can anyone else see this is a very dangerous situation?
Does the law covering assault cover everyone, or only
those who aren't above the law, i.e. the police? What about
fraud, rape and child molesting, or a hundred (thousand? the
number of laws goes up daily!) other crimes? Obviously murder
is still bad, as that is only common law, and has yet to be
justified by parliament as not applying to the crown.
