British MP Murdered with "Homemade" Gun, Knife

Jo Cox Murder Scene MP

A British Labor MP has been murdered when she intervened in an altercation between two men, on of whom has been reported to have mental issues.  Witnesses at the scene reported that the gun used appeared “homemade”.  A knife was also used.  The MP was reportedly shot three times and stabbed several times.  From uk.businessinsider.com:

An eyewitness report given to the BBC said that Cox was attacked after becoming involved in an altercation between two men.

“There was a guy who was being very brave and another guy with a white baseball cap who he was trying to control and the man in the baseball cap suddenly pulled a gun from his bag,” the witness said.

The gun was “homemade” and large, according to multiple reports.

From sky.com:

“It looked like a gun from, I don’t know, the First World War or a makeshift, handmade gun. It’s not sort of like the kind of gun you see normally.”

From spiderfinance.com:

 Another witness told Sky that a man in white, dirty baseball cap
had been jostling with the MP before pulling out a gun. The gun
was “homemade,” according to multiple reports. 

Given the  low level of firearms awareness in the U.K., I have doubts about the witnesses ability to discern whether the gun was homemade or not.  On the other hand, homemade guns are fairly common in the U.K. because factory made guns are so tightly controlled.

Here are two different accounts in the same article:

Another witness, Hithem Ben Abdallah, told local reporters that the MP was involved in an altercation between two arguing men. He said a man in a baseball cap “suddenly pulled a gun from his bag” and after a brief scuffle with another man the MP became involved.

“He was fighting with her and wrestling with her, and then the gun went off twice, and then she fell between two cars and I came and saw her bleeding on the floor.”

Clarke Rothwell told the BBC that a man carrying a gun “purposefully” targeted the MP.

My homemade muzzleloader could use homemade ammo. I used homemade projectiles and the electrical ignition did not need primers. I bought the black powder, but it can be made without too much trouble.

I do not know where his came from. Probably smuggled factory ammo. But makeing homemade ammunition is not that difficult.

A 3D printed gun from World War 1. Now that would be a collectors item.

And proof of time travel.

Great graphic, but honestly, I don’t know what several of those things ARE.

A skilled machinist can make guns just fine. For decades, Afghans have been making their own AK clones using equipment inferior to what I can buy at my local Sears.

Correct. And homemade or small shop made submachine guns are a favorite of Brazilian criminals.

Thank you. Many things seem to change if it isn’t with the agenda theme these days.

Politicians think they can outwit the combination of Evil and Human Ingenuity.

I guess they can outlaw Shop Tools like Drill Presses and the Electricity that runs them.

Then they can outlaw Fire used to forge metal.

“Ban a pipe ,nail and rubber band”

And don’t forget to ban the knife,he stabbed her too. The perp whose name is Tommy Mair made the comment....”Britain first”. It seems, I was reading in the

mirror in the UK that she was for bringing in boocoo undocumented Syrian refugees. Per the Mirror in the UK, “Ms Cox was a passionate advocate of refugees.” My heart still goes out to her husband and 2 small children. Her birthday is the 22nd of this month.

The claim that he said “Britain First” is rapidly being debunked. See post #36.

What a ridiculous transparent attempt to fabricate a martyr; nobody wants to acknowledge a meaningless death.
