In the UK ARs must be manually operated for each shot, hence the charging handle that turns a gas operated rifle into a manually operated one similar to a bolt action rifle.
Didn't know that. Does this equate to a prohibition on all semi-auto rifles or just imports?
I believe most semiauto centerfire weapons are banned in the UK. The ARs that they have there have no gas systems and are thus straight pull back.
Correct.
Not all AR owners choose to have a side-charging handle though as it involves butchering the upper to accommodate it.
As a side note, we currently have an online petition hoping to garner support for the return of handguns in .22LR:

Baby steps! :D
That has to be frustrating to live in a place like Australia with all that wild untamed land and not be able to have a handgun.
This makes me sick. Its exactly what They want over here.
Aside from the handgun issue, it's at least still 'workable'. Might be a little slower to fire but it's the same terminal effect. ;)
We can haz .50 cal too: http://www.fcsa.co.uk/
Oh, and no magazine or suppressor restrictions either.
