What's a little robbery for this crowd? The .38/200 was sold in the civilian and police markets as well(until the draconian British laws took away the subjects ability to defend themselves). Imagine some of these in the hands of law abiding citizens defending their lives and property. Boneheads like these wouldn't have a chance to become such monsters(IMO)

That’s not what I am referring to. The point is that most firearms used in crime in the UK have been acquired as a result of a burglary. The webley was mostly a military issue weapon. In all likelihood it belonged to some ex-soldier who kept it as a souveneir or a keepsake. Then his house got broken into, it was stolen, and the next thing you know, its being used to perpetrate a hold-up. The problem with being a gun-owning society is that everyone has guns, saints and sinners alike.
