Here we go again - Starmer says need to tighten gun laws

[1066]

Well, true to form. Keir Starmer wants to tighten up gun laws (But farmers might be allowed to keep one). Yesterdays papers were saying "a hail of bullets in mass shooting incident" now it looks more like both barrels of a sawn off shotgun.

Revenge attack on family of drug cartel members using an illegal firearm + British Politician Logic = John Smith who lives in a town/city isn't allowed to continue to use his legally owned guns

However I do fully stand by Sir Starmer when he says we should make possession of prohibited firearms and attempted murder more illegalererererer. Its just common sense(!)

Maybe , after another police officer pleads guilty to multiple sex crimes , Starmer should be wanting police officers to be subjected to the same checks that the shooting community are .

Especially as said officer, passed further checks to be a Firearms Officer and become a member of the Diplomatic Protection Group......

I expect it will be a long backlog - just like the one for FAC grants and renewals.
I read the other day there are some 800 coppers in the MET alone, being investigated for sexual / domestic abuse, amongst other things.

The UK needs a root and branch audit of all its officers. And the useless blind eye nodders of the IOPC need scrapping too.

Just noticed the Plymouth shootings inquest is in full swing, he was likely trying to whip up support for bandwagon that'll come off that to try to force more changes to a system that more or less works, but only when its actually used properly <cough>Hungerford<cough>Dunblane<cough>Horden<cough>Plymouth

The drivel tumbling from Starmer's mouth is about all we can expect from 'politicians' these days, which is a very sad state of affairs (for the Country).

Think Starmer is bad, after the mass shooting this weekend in California, the local Sherriff has said the shooter used 'a magazine-fed semiautomatic assault pistol'.
Any ideas what an 'assault pistol is nowadays?

An AR-15 Pistol perhaps
