Yes......for some reason the criminals in Britain simply did not get the freakin memo.....guns are banned in Britain.......and yet these criminals continue to bring illegal guns into Britain....don't they realize that this is an Island nation......and there is absolute gun control...the kind American anti gunners drool over?
Gun control is supposed to freaking stop this kind of shenanigans.........right?
Rising number of guns being smuggled into UK, Metropolitan police say
More guns are being seized in cities across Britain as the number of firearms being smuggled into the country increases, Britain’s most senior police officer has said.
Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, the Metropolitan police commissioner, told a hearing at London’s City Hall that a rise in gun crime in the capital was being put down to an increase in the number of weapons coming into the country.
The Met seized a “worrying” record number of weapons in 2015, including semiautomatic guns, Hogan-Howe said.
“We’ve seized more firearms than ever before,” he said. “In the previous year [2015] we’ve seized 714 guns – that’s around two per day. In a city this size, that’s a worrying number. This is an increase on previous years. Some of them are semiautomatic weapons, too.
“If you look around the big cities of the country, they are seeing a similar profile. Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool – they are seeing big rises as well.”
