Gordon R Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Quote GordonR The reference was regarding illegal firearms outnumbering ‘historical’ weapons— not your favourite topic of immigration ? Jaymo - you cited 500,000 illegal immigrants and say that you base your answer on "facts". There were two figures in the same quotation, but you select one. I wonder why. Oh - it's just habit. PS - immigration is not my favourite subject. It is just that people of your ilk have no grasp on the reality, despite your contacts.

Jaymo Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 (edited) Nope, you need to check the thread or put your glasses on old man ? my reply was in response to Pinfiremans statement over the illegal importation verses obsolete calibre in circulation domestically, his claim of 100:1 for every obsolete, it was he who mentioned the half mill illegals...... Im glad I don’t have a grasp on reality as it seems reality sucks. Edited August 25, 2018 by Jaymo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old'un Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Antique weapons may be one source of illegal firearms, but if you have some bit coins you can buy any gun you want on the Darknet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll be watching it again on iplayer at some point to gather info’; let’s face it, who else is going to complain? ? Scully. Went to buy small pistol primers and some BA9 today from one of the dealers near Toulon, €27.99 for the primers and €48 for the powder- was asked to produce my ‘Licence’ ( Frenchie one) which I have not had to do here before except in Decathlon for carts. Local town dealer will still shake his head when I buy carts, but he does know us I suppose? So, having seen now the Panorama programme in full and also my buying experience here, I have to say that the acquisition of powder/primers is very limiting and should have been brought up on the programme .

Thanks for that. It’s such a long time time since I bought either ( around 1998 ) that I can’t remember whether I was asked or not, even though things were much more relaxed back then. I couldn’t see any RFD just dishing them out without checking in this day and age; more than their job is worth I would think. Thanks again.
