reaper6 Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Illegal weapons fear as number of lawfully held guns hits 10-year a ten year high?WHY....... THE number of firearms held legally in Scotland has reached a ten-year high,WHY........... fuelling fears of a similar rise in the number of illegal weapons. Opposition politicians have called for greater efforts to find out how many firearms are held illegally on Scotland's streets. The move came as Scottish Government figures revealed a rise of 4 per cent last year in the number of firearms owned under certificate, to 69,481.

toka_shigazu Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 Wish we could turn round and say "Every legally held firearm is one less that the criminals can use!!!" .....toruble is it aint as easy as that with the number they manage to smuggle in through our really tough border patrol, let alone the ones already here!! if they cant stop illegal immigrants entering they havent got much hope of stopping what by comparison are small items!!

Vince Green Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 When we came back from France last year on the car ferry into Portsmouth we drove off the ferry then all through the dock yard past about a million road cones before emerging out onto the main road and home. No customs, no immigration nothing. This country is wide open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 thats because of the behind the scenes security, believe it or not but you'll have had a full background check done, customs know who they want to pull before they even board a ferry or tunnel. If they sat there and checked every car regardless you'd be stuck in queues for days. Instead they have to use intelligence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
covlocks Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Good theory, but you can pay at Calais for the Tunnel and drive straight on if there is a slot. You show your passport to buy the ticket, but Customs dont know about you until you thrust your passport at them as you go through the border control. If you have a boat - then its a whole lot easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 You can't tell me that all those cars rolling off the ferries at Dover has had every passenger computer checked? Besides which someone may be smuggling guns for the Taliban and was chosen simply because he was clean. No, when we came off at Portsmouth the Customs Shed was all locked up. Not just we didn't get pulled over, there was nobody there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombadil Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Sooner or later these illegal guns will be used to kill some one. There will then in turn be a moral panic produced by the red tops, and as a stupid reactionary response more guns will be made illegal, then as a result possession of illegal guns will be even higher, some one will get shot and so on and so forth. Eventually police will be melting down our sling-shots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaseone Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 I must say I dont believe the checks, we go abroad clay shooting and just put the guns and ammo in the boot If you dont tell anyone you have guns then there is no drama And yes we do have all the right certificates just never been stopped.
