Much easier to have the weapons available before hand. Have fun buying
one in
England if you decide you need one...

Older handguns are beautiful machines, as worthy of
collecting as any other well made object. Additionally
Government agents will always have handguns, or worse. Right
now they are on the side of the angels, mostly. That could
change. Even if I don't need a handgun, for that reason, I
won't foreclose on the future.
That argument doesn't really work very well. If the nature of the government
changed to the extent that you felt you really needed a gun as a weapon
(rather than for sports or to protect yourself against ordinary criminals),
then the chances are that that government would already have made guns
illegal. So you would need to obtain them illegally anyway. In situations
like that it never seems difficult to find someone to sell you the weapons -
look at Northern Ireland as an example.
