The Times newspaper has waded into the US Second Amendment debate, blaming gun crime in Britain on the sale of blank-firing pistols sourced from across the Atlantic.
Gun crime spiked immediately after the total ban of handguns in the United Kingdom in 1997, and has been fluctuating ever since, as police struggled to contain the flow of imported banned weapons which easily find their way into criminal hands. One method of acquiring a working firearm is the purchase of pistol blank-firers – which can be modified to take live ammunition – from dealers in other countries who will post them by ordinary mail to addresses in the United Kingdom, where they are illegal.

Next time their pathetic little kingdom (queendom?) comes under armed attack, to whom will they address their letters pleading for donations of firearms to help save them?

| What a pathetic position to blame the US for their crime. Actually, most of their illegal weapons are smuggled in from eastern Europe. |

The UK is a gun grabbers scientific experiment and wet dream. They are an island completely surrounded by ocean. Sounds like they can't control their own borders and what commerce comes and goes. The people that live there can't obviously be trusted with any kind of weapon such as firearms or knives. They would be an easy takeover by Putin. All unarmed victims.
They live in a big "no knives or guns zone". |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
