Maybe the Brits are just still pissed about armed farmers and shopkeepers 
kicking them out of the country way back when.....or forgot about the time 
the USA shipped tons of sporting arms of all sorts for civilians to defend 
themselves against an expected Nazi invasion at the inception of WWII.

there's also a nice review in this month's Penthouse (now you can buy it for 
the articles) and in the Southwest City Journal (if you're in the St. Louis

and the Military Book Club said: "Armed America may well be the most 
off-beat book MBC has ever sold. It quickly found its way around the office 
here, and the reaction is unanimous. No one can put it down. More than 100 
photos. 208 pages."

there's also a youtube video about the making of (check out the leica d200):
