Post by: dave-s on April 27, 2002, 08:00:19 am Its sad how easy it is to get firearms illegaly, here in the UK youre not allowed any, dont know the full fire arms laws here, never really been interested, although I wouldnt mind having a copy at an MP5SD just to see how quiet they actually are :)
I recon if I really wanted to I could hook myself up with a handgun within a few days of asking, I was told a few years back that someone could get a cheapo nasty pistol for ?25 by just driving a few miles from where I used to live. Shouldnt ever be able to get to that stage. I saw some program on the TV about 10 months ago, it was an undercover thing, some bloke was legaly allowed to import and sell certain firearms, shotguns, pistols that sort of thing, nothing military. But he'd managed to get himself something like 70 odd Mac10s which he was distributing to the some not so nice people, they were used in driveby shootings all over the place. Saying that if its not guns it some git glassing someone for helping them get out of a fight. And that was just at the top of my road.Nothing like these Highschool shootings though. Sorry for the long post. Hope nobody hear has been directly affected by these happenings. Title: Re: oh god!! Post by: ISK_Hatchcock on April 27, 2002, 12:07:31 pm Well, when I saw this yesterday on the news, I was shocked very hard. It was the first time in Germany that such an amok run took place. Even more, I started to think about my choice being a teacher, again. Even I?m on university now, news like that one, doesn?t make you feel better.
Here again, you see, it?s too easy to get weapons. Greetz Hatch |
