Police have seized 833 guns in Britain as part of an operation aimed at preventing criminals and terrorists gaining access to illegal firearms. The National Crime Agency and counter-terrorism officers made 282 arrests during a month-long joint initiative that started in October. Guns seized ranged from pistols to assault rifles and machine guns. |

In spite of formally great Britain's draconian gun laws, the criminals still have guns. The gun laws only disarm law abiding subjects and make them prey for the gun toting criminals.
If the police sized 833 guns you can bet that more than 99 percent or 82,500 are still out there. It just confirms that the gun restrictions on law abiding citizens are rather absurd. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
