Oh, one of them semi-auto submachine guns. Looks like the UK needs to tighten up on their gun control laws.

A submachine gun is not semi-automatic, unless it is select fire and has been switched to that mode.

If only Britain had passed tough, common-sense gun laws...

Well, we have the first evidence of where those thousands of missing Moslem “refugees” have alighted.

Not to worry. A nightstick always trumps a machine gun.

Silly Brits you’d think they would have made semi-auto sub machine guns illegal.
You would think they would at least make firing at police officers illegal.

Fully automatic (submachine-guns, etc.) are “prohibited weapons”[15] and require explicit permission from central government to permit ownership. Generally, such permits are not available to private citizens. — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_politics_in_the_United_Kingdom

Apparently someone has difficulty with identifying fire arms. A ‘semi-automatic’ sub-machinegun is simply a large, ungainly pistol.

Who would want a machine gun on a sub anyway? Would the rounds go bouncing all over the place?

Hope the cops peed on the assailant like liberals teach.

Either it’s semi-auto or it’s a machine gun; it can’t be both!

It’s a good thing the perp didn’t use one of those AK47 Glock fully automatic high powered assault single shot revolvers, he could have done some real damage.

Fools! Yeah, they should pass more laws that make owning guns really, really, really illegal! That will stop them for sure!

From the link...

“Trident continues to investigate the circumstances but, on the face of it, this appears to have been a random firearm discharge.”

Scotland Yard described a suspect as a black male in his late teens or early 20s, of slim build and wearing dark clothing.


Looks like they missed those “random firearms” in their gun control laws : - /
