Half of the terror plots prevented in the UK over the last two years involved extremists trying to buy guns, senior police officers have said.

National Crime Agency (NCA) chief Lynne Owens said criminals "think nothing about who they sell firearms to".

UK security services have warned of the growing risk of a marauding gun attack, similar to those in Paris and Mumbai.

A major campaign is being launched to try to clamp down on the supply of illegal firearms.

The NCA said the appeal was aimed at anyone who might see guns smuggled through smaller ports of entry to the UK.

The UK terror level is currently severe - meaning an attack is highly likely.

Paging nannie bloomers and the momunists. You are urgently needed in the UK to help them institute intregalactic background checks on firearms. Which of course will end all future "gun violence" as well as domestic violence. Canker sores? Not so much.

Back about 98 years ago, Britain, fearing a RED SCARE, decided to start confiscating guns from the public. First the fabricated high gun crime rates, then began to confiscate the guns.
To make Britain Safe for our children...

Twenty years later, they came to America begging...”PLEASE SEND A GUN TO DEFEND A BRITISH HOME!”

So it’s true. When guns are outlawed, outlaws will have guns. Amazing that they can figure this stuff out! How do they do it, Steven Hawking?
