The BREN gun PARTS set would be worth 5k in America. 40-60k if REWATED and transferable

“Every firearm handed in to police makes the city safer as it prevents them from falling into the hands of criminals.”

Ah, there it is, the new justification....If we don’t have ‘em the bad guys can’t get ‘em. Because we are obviously not competent enough to own ‘em in the 1st place.............RIIIIGHT.

"The two weapons, which had been deactivated"

So how is that any different from handing over a few pounds of any other kind of scrap metal to the police?

Let's see. They were "deactivated" so the guy turned in a couple of big paper weights. Once upon a time I had a Browning .30 water cooled mg with the bolt welded. Made a fun conversation piece. 👹

First time I’ve heard of “air weapon.” Is that like an “air guitar?”

Remember guys when you make out your will make sure your weapons go to a good home where they will be appreciated and taken care of. Do not expect your wife to do the same unless she is a life member of the NRA.

The two weapons, which had been deactivated,

Yahoos at Yahoo! - Title should read, "Six pounds of scrap metal handed in to police".

Wouldn’t a deactivated machine gun be a non machine gun as well as a non gun?

What a victory for the State, they took two paperweights off of the street! Exceedingly dangerious, these automatic paperweights could have been used to bash people over the head multiple times a minute. I am sure felons everywhere feel safer tonight.

If they’d been de-activated....then they weren’t machine guns, except cosmetically.

So they were turned in because they LOOKED scary? Or because the owners were renouncing their role in WWII?

Thank God! It is about time we took some really serious action to get guns off the street. With this we can all seep better knowing that rouge guns are not skulking around the neighborhood looking for some . . . oh never mind

Here's an idea, now that those eeeevil guns are off the streets in the UK, how about a van amnesty, allowing British Subjects to turn in their vans so we they never again have to suffer a tragic incident like what happened on London Bridge last June. Yes even the classics like this need to be turned in and destroyed

Hey, if it saves ONE life....
