Prohibitive laws only hurt law abiding people Criminals don't give a shit.
In the UK laws were enacted after two fruitcakes went out and shot a bunch of people: Hungerford Massacre & a shooting in Dunblane, Scotland.
In the UK there isn't a 'right' enshrined in law of self-defence. You are allowed to use 'reasonable force'. What is 'reasonable' is decided by a jury in a nice warm & safe courthouse maybe months later. If someone tried to rob you and you cold-cocked them you will get busted too!
.22 blank firing revolvers made by bruni are still sold, I expect that one of those would be easier to convert due to the low pressure rounds, and I'm sure finding a .22 rifled barrel wouldn't be too difficult because of the ban on most centrefire rifles
@HugoReitveldz Don't think they are coming necessarily... With the now the Republicans have the House we will likely have a republican president in the next election... Republicans are generally pro-gun so that reduces the possibility of more gun restriction laws... When the Feds come around taking guns from people, THAT is the time for revolution...
@Radomid Surprisingly, here in the UK, gun crime isn't as prominent as knife crime. I have a gas gun which I bought years ago. Now, I dare not even mention I have it to my friends. Guns are always available here, Eastern Europe has flooded the market with them. I really can't see why this mickey mouse gun has been banned.
UK is now FASCIST Rule Britannia? Now Heil Britannia!
It's disgusting, this is what the Nazis, the Soviets, the East Germans, the North Koreans, Pol Pot's Cambodia have done, and you can plainly see what happened there.
As our founder said "George Washington Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master."
@libertyeagle777 not trying to generalize, but does EVERY single north american mention Hitler when they're told "someone" can't do "something", even if it has nothing to do with Jews?
@mythreebuckeyes - There were only 42 gun deaths in the U.K. in 2009. You don't wanna visit don't but don't try to make out that banning guns has made us a bad country. We are far safer. Perhaps if you did make the effort to travel you would learn about the rest of the world and that people live differently. I by the way have visited 20 different states in the U.S. and love the place almost as much as home.
@WillShakespeare2007 ...oh moment please, this 42 gun deaths should not happened if you have a gun ban since 1997!! And how many robberies and rapes UK had in 2009? In Switzerland almost every household has a firearm but less then 42 gun death! The UK gun ban was, is and will be a bunch of crap, just like any other gun control law!
@WillShakespeare2007 banning short barrel firearms has done jackshit! since when does the crininal (before 97) apply for lience then walk into a gun shop to get his sig sauer handgun then shot someone with it!!!!! for fuckshake
so can you own it and keep it in your house or is it totally illegal to own it, because alot U.K. surplus stores still sell them for about £40 claiming its fine as long as you keep it in your house as a collector
I love what a bunch of moronic tosspots this government is comprised of, they spend all that time and effort constructing legislation against airsoft guns and new laws against an apparently random selection of blank guns then overlook the release of a blank revolver which takes 9mm rounds out of the box? FUCK UPS.
The same stuff is happening in Australia. Except they are masking it as "treating replicas as real guns", when in fact it will be pointless to get a replica and it will mean certain replicas (e.g. pocket sized pistol and semi auto rifle replicas) will become illegal. And its all because people are robbing petrol stations with them >_>...
i am selling a olypica.38 prices vary i have a lisence to have the fire arm the prices vary from the first offer pm back in a week from the 9 th of august it will be on ebay pm back if intrested ps it is blanked out
It is an offence for any person, without lawful authority or good reason, to have with him in a public place, any article which has a blade or is sharply pointed except for a folding pocket-knife which has a cutting edge to its blade not exceeding 3 inches
That is seriously out of control. Banning a blank firing gun because it can be converted to be a real gun? And then telling owners of it that they may bring it in without fear of prosecution as if it is a deal? You kidding me?
@patsfanczar You can't convert a zinc blank firing .380/9mm rimmed to fire any ammunition. If you're suggesting putting a .38special in one, you'd end up with a cheap zinc hammer in your head.With carbide drills/endmills, you might be able to convert a .22 caliber blank gun to fire .22shorts, but it'd still be dangerous to shoot. It's all about surrendering any means of self protection in a violent, crazy, over-controlled, heavily monitored world, where the rich elite can carry guns worldwide.
