Yes....Britain has extreme gun control laws that we are told will keep guns out of the hands of criminals....this kid wasn't a criminal and he managed to aqcuire a pistol, extended magazines and improvised explosive devices...for a planned attack on a college that had kicked him out......
And he got all of those things in a country with extreme gun control.....
Again, as I post over and over, European criminals can get guns just as easily as American criminals can....
British teen sentenced to life for planned school attack
Despite some of the tightest gun control on the planet, a British man was able to acquire a handgun, extended mags and explosives as part of a plot to attack his former school.
Liam Lyburd, 19, of Newcastle upon Tyne, was sentenced to life imprisonment this week on eight charges of possessing weapons with intent to endanger life.
As noted by the BBC, Lyburd gathered a cache that included a Glock 19, three 33-round magazines, 94 hollow-point bullets, CS gas, five pipe bombs and two other improvised explosive devices despite the country’s long history of civilian arms control.
So...this guy wouldn't even be allowed to own a pistol in the United States at 19 and he was able to get it in Britain.....the gun control paradise that the anti gun extremists often point to when they attack American gun laws.....
He would not have been able to pass a federal background check here in the states.....own that gun or those explosives...and he easily aqcuired them in Britain.....
How easy was it for this criminal to get that gun...and the bombs.......
The internet-savvy teen obtained the Glock and other items through Evolution Marketplace, a successor to the Silk Road, a long-time “dark web” site in which users could buy and sell everything from illegal narcotics to munitions using Bitcoin cryptocurrency.
In court, Lyburd testified that buying the Glock was so easy it was “like buying a bar of chocolate.”
And he got all of those things in a country with extreme gun control.....
