I have been thinking about the possible UK issues regarding any proposed US restriction/ban of "AR15" firearms, following the dreadful shootings there
Companys like Spikes Tactical could well close down without civillian markets to sell to. I dont think the domestic law enforcment market is big enough to support them alone.
Its a good job we have the likes of SGC here in the UK , making AR's with no US content.
I can't imagine them banning semi autos.....but you never know, it might happen!

I doubt it would have any impact on UK "black" guns, would it?
Ours are already neutered, over-priced, UK-specific variants.
The only thing that "might" happen is that parts from the US might become scarce.

Is a ban likely!? After all don't the republicans have the other house over there?

Don't be so sure, this latest shooting might just be the straw that broke the camels back!

I can't see a ban being successful and if so may well be limited to 10 years like the last one. Plus, any attempt at a ban well be tied up in the courts for years to come.

The lonny tunes have never thought about the REAL cots if ALl guns were banned.
Like millions unemployed who currently work in the gun and gun related industries, billions on lost sales tax, proprty rents and rates, drop in tourism in a few states. certain BIG rise in crime, dead police officers - killed trying to confiscate guns from the law abiding, armed guards no longer allowed guns etc etc. and of course the state benefits claimed by those made uneomployed by the gutter press, fascist liberals and whitehouse criminals.
The liberals are too dumbassed to THUINK so any of the above is not in their thougfghts, they are selfic=sh people for sure.
sevensixtwo, might come to that..would help oldbummer ruin the US and assume control as a dictator....like he is already doing.

In canada,im led to beleive that there are also more guns than people,with the exception that people and attitudes are differnt and so is the climate....it almost seems like they are able to think and behave rationally......sure they have shootings,but never anything like the u.s.,so i put it to you that its american society is tearing itself apart as time goes on ,leading to god knows what.....
