Yeah, Those UK Gun Law Are Really Working Out Well

Yeah, Those UK Gun Law Are Really Working Out Well
SHARE

The United Kingdom has some of the toughest gun control laws out there. Really, though, it’s not just guns. They’re even considering some ridiculous extremes with their knife control efforts. That’s right, gun control did so well stopping violent crime that they’re having to try and control knives and are having to step up those efforts because their previous laws worked so well.

But gun control, though? Well, the fact that they’re pushing knife control might suggest to some that at least the gun control worked.

Of course, a guy out of Leeds kind of dispels that with his recent court case.

Kane Clarke was arrested at his home on Kelsall Road in Hyde Park on November 20 last year and the property routinely searched.

Officers were shocked to find the machine gun in a rifle bag in the cellar.

The stock / shoulder butt had been removed and there was a magazine that was fully loaded with live bullets, along with a black balaclava. The judge at Leeds Leeds Crown Court called it an “assassin’s kit bag”.

The weapon was examined and found to be capable of firing semi-automatic and fully automatic, prosecutor Oliver Connor told the court.

Clarke, 27, later said he was holding the gun on behalf of drug dealers who had threatened him but he would not provide further details for fear of reprisals. He has only one previous conviction for criminal damage.

That has got to be the most ridiculous excuse ever.

“No, really, these drug dealers threatened me and gave me a machine gun I could use to kill them all. I’m just such a good British subject that I’d never shoot anyone who threatened to hurt or kill me.”

Is anyone buying that?

OK, maybe that last part is believable enough.

Now, note that this is a select-fire AK we’re talking about here. This is something that I can’t readily get here in the United States and we tend to respect gun rights in ways that the UK would hyperventilate over. I can’t get a gun like this at any of the gun stores here in my town, but this guy was caught with a select-fire AK in the United freaking Kingdom.

Why, it’s almost like criminals don’t follow gun laws or something.

How many other actual machine guns are running around the British Isles, supposedly being handed to people threatened by drug dealers to hold onto it for them without a care if the guy they just threatened is going to mow them down or not?

(Seriously, this is like “the dog ate my homework” level of unbelievable here.)

British gun control laws clearly don’t work. They were never going to work. These guns haven’t really been legal in the UK in, like, forever, yet here it is, just sitting in some dude’s home in Leeds. If they worked, this wouldn’t have happened. He’d never have had the weapon in his possession. He’d have never had the ammunition in his possession.

He had both and so do a lot of other people in the UK, regardless of the laws.
