How to spot a hidden handgun - guide

[NeiljohnUK]

Thanks, Most laws made by all governments are stupid. In my opinion every government has been corrupted to the core. Drunk on the power they have created for themselves, because there are not enough self-aware people willing to become involved in trying to root out the corruption and reduce the number of power drunk officials in office. Just remember power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

The EU lives in fear, a fear inculcated in their Civil Services, and thus politicians by the history of the peoples violence against an overbearing state. The Russian revolution sparked many firearms, thus people, control laws. From their 'small firearms' (concealable weapons) laws (late 1990's) to banning private shooters using any current military round (post WW2).

The UK was badly afflicted too, the fear of 'Tommy Atkins' coming home from the trenches now skilled at arms and being treated just as badly as he was before WW1 and fighting the system in a revolution led to the enactment of similar laws. Banning 'small firearms', with minimum barrel and overall length requirements, along with individual firearms licenced as a single permitted item on an individuals firearms certificate is now the norm, and whilst great play is made about 'illegal firearms' being seized in truth the government doesn't fear simple armed criminals, righteous citizens however...
