Very true

12 gauge with a full-choke in the barrel would absolutely decimate a human

A lot of shooters, pretty stupid

i mean they probably just pick whatever gun theyve got

Depends, but yeah

As much as I’d love more access to firearms, the background checks are a necessity in the UK

I can’t really say much about the UK when it comes to guns as I’m American, but at least for me I’ve been taught safety and grew up in firearm safe communities

I agree to background checks

They’re quite extreme in the UK

Ownership requires two references from people that have known you for 5 years

The thing i love about firearms laws is you can buy an antique firearm with absolutely 0 background checks

Any depression and you’re banned

Etc

just walk in, walk out

True, but ammo is harder to get for them

Problem with our background checks is the FBI crime records are outdated by 5 years I believe

You’ll have to make your own most of the time

And the ammunition is still regulated

The powder at least

yeah I have an old 1918 enfield and .303 ammo is really hard to find around here in the states

Yeah but its great, i just walked in and bought a rifle and bayonet with absolutely 0 trouble

Lee enfield still counts as non-antique in UK i think

cos .303 is an easy to get calibre

ours is anything peer 1960 if I remember correctly

Most criminals will purchase ‘deactivated’ firearms and will ‘activate’ them again

Pre*

Or, import them from Eastern Europe

In ours it has to be an obsolete calibre

The one thing I’m personally worried about is realistic Airsoft weapons

I mean with a workshop you could make something like the Sten or owen gun

or just a pipe shotgun

because there are YouTube videos showing how to mill them out and convert them

True, but you need technical skills

To actual firearms

Then you need to get the ammunition

3D printed firearms will be the next thing

As the technology evolves

the pipe gun is replaced by the plastic gun

True

But again, ammunition.

yeah not looking forward to tht
