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Problem with our background checks is the FBI crime records are outdated by 5 years I believe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
Regulating ammo is the BEST way to regulate firearms
