The Gun Maker


iconGFWs will never admit that banning guns is a fruitless exercise. No matter how many illegal guns make it into the hands of criminals, GFWs are never satisfied with the strictness of gun laws. It has even been shown in the past that when outside sources of guns are cut off, criminals resort to making their own. The UK is finding that out.

Detectives today said they had cut off a major supply of weapons to Nottingham's gangs after a man who ran a gun factory was jailed.

Michael Westwood converted imitation guns and blank-firing pistols into lethal weapons.

The 22-year-old used a first-floor bedroom in Cedar Road, Sherwood, as his workshop.

By cutting off the supply of legally manufactured handguns, the UK has taken all government regulation out of the process. The supply of illegally manufactured handguns has risen to meet demand. With criminals acting as the sole means of manufacture and distribution, the government no longer has any control over the quality of manufacturing, or to whom the firearms are sold. In effect, that means more illegal guns, not less.

Yup!
The favourites are a brand of Russian BB pistol that can be converted to (single shot) 22 cal., and an 'air soft' Glock that can be done likewise.
I was recently offered a Browning 9 mil for less than it would have cost me legally pre-ban.
Wow, I feel so safe I could just shit.
PS.- No, I am not a criminal, nor have I many criminal friends.
