Police Struggle To Stop Flood Of Firearms Into UK

Police and border officials are struggling to stop a rising supply of illegal firearms being smuggled into Britain, a senior police chief has warned.
Chief constable Andy Cooke, the national police lead for serious and organised crime, said law enforcement had seen an increased supply of guns over the past year, and feared that it would continue in 2019.
The Guardian has learned that the situation is so serious that the National Crime Agency has taken the rare step of using its legal powers to direct every single police force to step up the fight against illegal guns.
The NCA has used tasking powers to direct greater intelligence about firearms to be gathered by all 43 forces in England and Wales.
Another senior law enforcement official said that “new and clean” weapons were now being used in the majority of shootings, as opposed to guns once being so difficult to obtain that they would be “rented out” to be used in multiple crimes.
Because prohibition never works. Never. Not once in history, with anything. Ever.
The UK knows that and they want the defenseless, law abiding, peaceable man disarmed. It’s not accidental. It’s intentional.

Anyone who truly believes that making something illegal makes it unavailable is a special kind of stupid.

I am thinking the average joe Brit is coming to the conclusion a civil war/Crusades is in the making and they do not want to be caught with their trousers down around the ankles…

Cederq, I’ll take the other side of that. It is the average Brit that is and will remain disarmed while gangs and islam arm up.

Europe-wide, the Muslims have been arming up using small arms and grenades pilfered from leftovers of the 1990s Balkans civil war (some of whose combatants were Muslims and likely stockpiled such weapons for future use). The authorities in Sweden have raided a number of mosques and have found caches of such weapons. If they – illicit weapons – can make it as far north as Sweden, then Britain probably has them, too.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, British “leaders” – so-called – are discussing the merits of banning knives with a point! Yes, that’s right – having already decided implicitly to treat adult Britons as children, the authorities now plan to make it explicit. No pointed knives for you, dear subject – but we will let you keep a butter knife! As long as you don’t try to use it to defend yourself, that is….

The Dirty Irishmen (IRA) never seemed to have Trouble Obtaining/Smuggling Arms for their Members. Hopefully, this can be Ramped Up again, for I have No Doubt that the Pisslamics are the ones doing it heavily right Now. It’s in their Holy Book, Stealth Invasion and Takeover of “infidel’ Lands…
