Sky news is masturbating furiously about this.

Essentially it’s a news piece about reactivated firearms, in this case an Uzi, and creating an impression in peoples minds ‘that something needs to be done’ with those damn evil deactivated and replica firearms – whose laws at the moment are currently under review in the UK.

Ignore the fact that its £2,000 for a crappy deactivated Uzi and not a £200 eastern bloc AK.

Incidentally the accuracy of the Uzi was unbelievably bad. The ex-soldier fired short bursts until the magazine was empty at a target about 40 metres away and didn’t even hit the target once, which was at least torso size.
 
wouldn't have been that easy, unless some considerable work had been done to it. Breech face ground off, barrel pinned & slotted and welded to receiver (which should also be slotted)
 
If they mean to get serious, they need to ban:

1) Machine shops, which can knock together something Stenlike relatively easily.

2) Beaches, which make splendid places to unload crates of ammo and weapons from the Balkans and former East Bloc countries.

3) Soldiers and policemen, who can be bribed into a bit of petty theft down at the armory or have their guns simply stolen.

4) Computers and printing presses, which could transmit the knowledge of how to make or illegally obtain firearms.
 
A few weeks ago, I sent an email to a reporter at a UK newspapers, asking him why there was so much "gun crime" and where were all the guns coming from if they are banned there? His answer was: 70 per cent are converted replicas, blank firers that have had the barrel drilled out, etc.

Oh. Then all those gun control laws are really helping, aren't they? And Tamara had a really good answer.
