Trashy, marxist journalism of course but the UK's loony liberal readers and Joe Public in gereneral will lap this up (and believe every single word).

Journalists!

Never let the facts or truth get in the way of selling papers.

Arundel Militaria’s website describes the £600 Ruger SR-22 as “basically an AR-15 clone”.

Other weapons on offer include a Colt M4 Carbine semi-automatic rifle for £550, a Kalashnikov AK47 for £500 or a GSG5 MP5 Clone Anniversary Edition for just £400.

The Gun Control Network said: “These weapons are too frightening to be available to the public

This admirably demonstrates the level of research this Journalist has put into his/her story... Sensationalism at it's best.

just noticed that this muppets email address is on the bottom of the page-maybe we could send him an email just to let him know how p**s poor his "reporting" standards are.

I have never liked the GSG's myself either....but lets not forget that rifles like the Browning T bolt and the Ruger 10/22 will be lumped with this gun by the anti's too. Yet again they chose to go after the most tactical like semi auto they could find....most of the gun pictured is furniture and toys-no doubt to inspire fear and dread in the reader...a walnut stock bolt action.22 with just a scope is not as frightening to readers
