London Shooting

[maggiebee]

Seems very easy to get hold of firearms these days. Where do they come from?

Three women and a man were shot in Camden on Saturday night.

Police were called to Clarence Gardens near Regent’s Park at around 10.10pm after residents heard gunfire.

Firearms officers and paramedics attended the scene.

Two women were taken to hospital with gunshot wounds. A man and women later took themselves to hospital with similar injuries.

imported from eastern Europe thanks to Schengen.

Illegal imports / workshops converting replica weapons into useable ones. Dunno how to access it (can't be bothered to find out I mean) but such stuff is probably sold through the Dark Web.

Er...but the UK is not in the Schengen area.

The smoke and mirrors that have developed from this tragic event are astounding. Anybody who wants to shoot people dead (including his own mother) will not worry about the legality of the gun he uses. It's easy to acquire a shotgun without a licence. It's fairly easy to acquire other firearms which require a firearms licence. To somehow now blame the police is simply crass. The bloke was a nutcase, plain and simple and if he had not held his shotgun legally he would have acquired one illegally.

[ummmm]

I could get you a gun by the end of the day.

[New Judge]

Yes thanks Dave. I realised after I had posted. Again : "Oh for an "Edit" facility" (for those of us who cannot pay proper attention!).

[naomi24]

Have you reported your contacts to the police, ummmm, and if not why not?

Yes I know, but they can but moved from Eastern Europe with no with no customs checks and then brought into the uk.

It's fairly easy to get pretty much any firearm in this country and always has been for the right price.

It's nothing to do with the Eastern Europeans either, illegal arms trading has gone on for many decades.

[ummmm]

[youngmafbog]

[naomi24]

I think it’s pretty naive to choose to mix in such dubious company, untitled.

knowing a dodgy person is not the same as liking them

[ynnafymmi]

Mmm,very strange,Maggie.Handguns are banned in Britain.Except for criminals and low-lives,they are officially exempt from the ban.

[Gromit]

There are 2 million legal guns in the UK, so they are not being imported from the EU.

I am with ummmmmmmm on this. I have NEVER even had a parking ticket, but believe I could get a gun in 2 hours no problem. Has anybody actually been in to a south London pub? I do not mean a family friendly Brewers Fayre, a proper old boozer type one. And I am not even from London!!
