This article doesnt make sense.. I thought britain banned all guns?

Doesnt that mean they stopped existing after that law was passed? Please someone explain this to me

@ Jeff

Soldiers and ex-soldiers are stealing them to supply gangs at home after leaving war zones.

As for ceasing to exist, I think Britain still produces it's own weapons for its armed forces, such as the Lee Enfield.

@flib, I was being entirely sarcastic and this an issue i feel very proactive about.

Very good statistic r4mcock. Thanks for posting that in here.

If you disarm the law-abiding, honest citizens who would actually think and abide(2nd word is very important here) by the law against any firearm, who will stop those who care nothing about laws? The thugs who live on a day-to-day basis do not care if they go to jail tommorow or they do care about their very near future and will use any means necessary to achieve "success".

How can any rational, sane person say "I am glad england has outlawed guns" when you have YOUR OWN MILITARY supplying extremely large quantities of assault weapons to criminals. If the guns were regulated and not outlawed there would not be the demand and the corrupted military officials would never have the profitable insight to delve into the illegal arms trade so deeply. Also, how can you sit there and feel safe knowing that any fucking criminal off the streets can go get a gun any time he wants. ANY TIME. You seriously think a criminal cares that he is carrying around something illegal? He cares just as much as I give a fuck about smoking and buying weed which is illegal.

Article on "who carries these guns"

References a "15" year old (it is assumed he is lying about his age to recieve more lenient punishment)



Well, as if manslaughter for killing a woman holding a baby who was just christened isnt a fucking issue in itself... who was there to stop this teenager with a gun? the police? HELL NO. An armed civilian who had received a CHL (concealed handgun license) and been trained and taken hours and hours of gun safety courses? Nope. Your retarded pussy parliament banned guns. So law abiding citizens obeyed the law and gave up their right to bear arms. While a fucking heartless coward who cares NOTHING for your laws murdered a woman holding a baby in cold blood.

People who think they will 100% absolutely never have to face down a criminal holding them at gunpoint are seriously deluded or live in an extremely isolated area. Sure in probability, it wont happen. However you read the news reports every day of people killed by a gang of attackers, murdered by a firearm, or held up for their money at gunpoint by a pathetic low-life. How will you protect yourself Britain?

^I cant say i disagree that NOW there will be more deaths related to guns ..

"
Sadly I think this can now only be solved through the presence of a stronger police presence and a stricter penalisation for firearm related offences."

Britain needs to up the police force and require the police to carry handguns and have instant access to assualt rifles (not enfields tho, you brits still havent figured out how to make a good assualt rifle >_<) and combat shotguns.

Dallas SWAT or Detroit SWAT needs to head overseas and teach your police force a few lessons in actually policing.

"-on a different note, my shoutwire page has become rather dodgy; firstly i now have to delete my cookies before coming on (i know this is a common problem, but its only just started with me) it also takes four attempts before i can actually sign on / post comment."

I am in the same boat as you r4m. I assume its just another FF problem. Dock and buls have brought the problem to the attention of the Dev and hopefully it will be worked on. Just know im harping them as much you probably want to because I am having the same fucking problem (along with a few other folks). one suggestion is to set your browser to allow cookies for session only for www.shoutwire.com that way you dont lose any of your other favorite websites cookies when you want to log into SW. It will just require you to log in everytime you visit shoutwire. Pain in the ass i know, but its getting worked on.

-r4mcock is such a funnier name.

Dude, im having the EXACT same problem. A problem the admin claims has something to do with all of our computers...
