There are reports, as yet unconfirmed, that he used a "homemade gun" he made from plans in a U.S.-based white nationalist publication or website. Probably a Trump supporter, too. You need to do a little more research. England has a gun problem. Lots of the guns were reactivated weapons, from the days when the Brit's could own anything. Some are starter pistols that have been made usable. Biggest problem in England is ammo. Sort of like the state of California has tried. So lots of the ammo is reloads. 100 years ago, the English could still own any weapon, including machine guns. That was right guaranteed by a statute from Parliament when the people were worried about despot rulers. Unfortunately it was a statute and not a Magna Carta type law. So a later Parliament changed the law. At least we have the 2nd amendment to protect us from despot rulers. And the 2nd can not be changed by Congress. Seems as if the SCOTUS has been allowed tho. The 2nd is not about hunting weapons, it is about politics! Especially bad politics. You say we can not defeat an army. How many of the military would oppose the people? Russia stationed soldiers far from their homes, and in different countries, so they would not have to choose between their neighbors and the government. With islamoterrism on the rise, we may need more lenient gun laws to protect ourselves from those who ignore laws anyway. |
