News The Latest Gun Control Speech (usa)

Looking through proposals for yet another set of changes to British gun laws (they've been amended on average every eighteen months, since 1968!)

There's a proposal to allow prosecution for having the means to make something into a firearm.

This is the logical extension of gun control. Back I the late 1990s a British person who was sick of arguing that guns aren't difficult to make from scratch, set out to demonstrate that they aren't difficult to make.

He made, test fired and wrote up a submachine gun! Which apparently is one of the easiest guns to make.

He used only simple household tools like a hacksaw a hand drill and a little welder. The steel was all readily available standard sizes. The book is published by palladin.

He was punished heavily, first by five years in a high security prison with hardened criminals it was his first" offence" and he was no risk to anyone or anything other than the threat he posted to the illusion that guns can be banned.

Later, he was disappeared for three months by police without his relatives or anyone else being informed of his whereabouts. Britain is a signatory to a UN declaration, which condemns such disappearances as crimes against humanity. So much for fine intentions. when someone shows bureaucrats claims to be false, The British state can behave in just as criminal a manner as Ceacescu's or Pinochet's secret police.

Following the gentleman's first arrest. Enquiries were made about the possibility/ feasibility of requiring licenses for home workshops. People who make model trains and the like.

It seems that something like that is now being proposed

Remembering that only basic tools were used. At the most basic, a hacksaw and a hand drill. It looks like a step towards universal criminalisation.

The process is something like the old lady who swallowed a fly, and her ever more drastic efforts to overcome the problems caused by each attempt to remedy the new and worse problems caused by the previous treatment.

She ended up swallowing a horse. She's dead, of course.

Sooooooo, do you actually have to be AWARE that you have the means to make something into a firearm, or just have the right stuff and the ability to find a plan, in the event you ever decide to pursue it?

This is not only ridiculous, it's frightening. And I thought things had taken on Orwellian turn HERE! :rolleyes: Perhaps the National Rife Association from the US needs to form international chapters.
 
Britain has a National Rifle Association.

It's very elitist and stuck in the mud. They had their affiliation with the military, for use of military ranges, and they shot the same disciplines with the same type of rifles as they had since the nineteenth century.

Back in 1987, when a guy went postal in a small town up the Thames valley, the British NRA was very keen to proclaim that there was no reason for anyone to have a centerfire semi auto. They threw the owners of semi auto rifles to the leviathan.

They were marginally better when the proposals to ban pistols came along in 96 and 97. With friends like that, there's no need to look for enemies.

The main British lobby is the British Association for Shooting and Conservation, which was mostly into shooting critters.

Unfortunately, like most lobby groups, it doesn't question the whole idea of gun control

But instead seems to feed on the threat of more restrictions, as a way to get subscriptions and members.

Back when Vanderboegh and Cordrea uncovered operation fast and furious, they sought help from the American NRA. What they got were NRA connected bloggers and the NRA themselves trying to invalidate all that they'd found.

The real help that they received was from GOA, who seem to be the more honest and effective lobby group.
 
Oooooh, forgot to mention
SAAMI and the big manufacturers are not your friends
Examples, Bill Ruger lobbying for bans on mags bigger than the one on his mini 30, to try to get AKs and Are off the market
And S&W lobbying for laws on gun locks, to get ahead of the competition.
SAAMI is dominated by Remington-Marlin. Who's interests are no better.
 
I'm perfectly OK with people owning guns. The problem is that the only ones who really care about...
I hope youre not referring to all conservatives, just the fascist pig variants lol

But no, its not your 2nd ammendment right. Its your God given right and the 2nd ammendment is a reminder to the government to not infringe on that already existing right. Just keep in mind it doesnt mean resort to violence just because the option is there lol. Even jesus said if you dont have a sword, sell your coat and get one, then he gave Simon Peter shit for cutting off a soldiers ear.

Not trying to preach but thought id bring that up since a lot of pro 2A christians (im one myself) use that passage as an argument to carry guns literally everywhere even where its not needed or wanted. I just know better than to think its an excuse for violence.
