Now you have a pipe that's been modified to fire ammunition. Erm, right.<br /><br />"Two Olympic 38 starting pistols in the process of being converted into deadly weapons were also found."<br /><br />Look, if you're going to insist on this idiotic nonsense of 'deadly weapons' a starting pistol is already a deadly weapon. As is my car, and my penknife, and... well you get the picture. The old saw about there only being deadly people still remains.<br /><br />"Further guns and ammunition were also found hidden..."<br /><br />Wow! What type of gun? since the police have given us such detailed descriptions of the pistols involved earlier why not now? For all we know this could refer to a couple of BB guns.<br /><br />"...and had profited from selling weapons to the criminal underworld."<br /><br />Erm, isn't possession of a prohibited firearm without a certificate illegal. So... any customer's are by definition criminals?<br /><br />"The CCTV that the duo had set up to avoid detection contributed to their convictions."<br /><br />Yeah, can't really add to this one. /facepalm<br /><br />"'doubtless with the sole intention of selling them on to those intent on committing serious crime.'"<br /><br />Erm. As mentioned above, possession of these guns is a serious crime. I'm glad to see that the police are keeping an open mind and aren't attempting to prejudge this.<br /><br />Regardless of how stupid the people involved may have been, this is another case of gun manufacturing being shown to require at least a modicum of skill. It doesn't. Well, not for the sort of weapon that is being dealt with here.<br /><br />Any half equipped engineering shop could produce far superior weapons from raw stock without all this nonsense of converting anything with a firing pin. About the only challenging part would be manufacturing the barrel - and even that is vastly reduced for a pistol.<br /><br />What I can't work out is whether the police and newspapers really believe that firearms are so complex to manufacture, or whether they just want the public to believe thatUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12709357304330234872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-24619513822426311132010-08-10T12:43:39.924+01:002010-08-10T12:43:39.924+01:00Oooo, I like the keyring very handy!!
