Journalists break laws to buy guns - should they be charged?

[breacher]

I can see it now: Terrorists abandoning their AK47s for .36 Navy Colts. Of course to make up for the lack of magazine capacity they will have to carry 12 revolvers. Be afraid! Be very afraid!

Is everybody in the EU government a complete idiot?

Thats just it - they are very clever !!

They takes a degree of devious intelligence to scare the sheeple into "big brother will protect you" type legislation.

They takes a degree of devious intelligence to scare the sheeple into "big brother will protect you" type legislation.

And a higher degree of stupidity to fall for it!

It's not stupidity to fall for it, just misinformed.

Doctors used to think (and still do in some countries...) that the practice of bleeding released bad spirits from the head. I might look like stupidity 3000 years later when there is so much more known about treating mental illness, but back then they didn't know any better.

These days, the information is available, it's just hidden away and known by those in gun clubs. 9 out of 10 people won't know the difference between a black powder pistol or a glock. All they know is that guns are bad and anyone who has one only has one to kill people.

Clubs don't help themselves these days, with many hiding themselves away and being cagey with anyone not already known by an existing member. This isn't all clubs, of course.

Being a journalist doesn't free them from the firearms act, lock them up.

..........This was shortly after the pistol ban and some anti-gun MPs and the GCN were claiming that Parliament had never intended any handguns to be exempt from the ban, so there was a 'ban cap & ball revolvers' campaign on the go. (When people are arrested with boatloads of illegal immigrants, AKs and Czech machine-pistols, doesn't it seem trivial now to be terrified of a British public 'armed' with 19th Century black powder technology? ..............

I've seen today, a proposed EU regulation banning muzzle loading firearms "in the name of defeating terrorism..."
