AR10 with no gas tube as a manually operated rifle = no problem (apart from primary extraction issues!) A semi auto AR10 is a Section 5 firearm ( US equivalent would be a Class 3 / NFA weapon). Registered Firearms Dealers with Section 5 authority can own them but there is no general civilian ownership of centrefire semi or full auto firearms. A 9mm semi auto pistol is legal for humane dispatch of deer and may also be possessed and shot as a Section 7 weapon for historic reasons. Historic includes modern firearms as well as your classic Lugers, Mauser Red Nines etc. |

Also the professional courtesy one officer might extend to another for speeding isn't usually limited to just LEO's. Often times firefighter, ER nurses, EMT's, military, and a few others are all given a bit of leeway (depending on the LEO) when it comes to traffic. So other than maybe getting out of a speeding ticket I'm not sure exactly what unfair advantage I have over "regular" folks. |

Quoted:
Did you know that the Canadian guard/soldier that was slaughtered yesterday by the jihadist was not permitted to have ammo in his rifle? Same English breed of liberal stupidity.  You mean just like the Old Guard soldiers at the Tomb of the Unknown at Arlington? We weren't allowed to have ammo guarding the motor pool or airfield in Germany, either. The motor pool was full of M60 tanks and M113s. The tanks had a full load of tank rounds at all times. Small arms ammo was kept in a conex - one at the end of each row of tanks. One conex per platoon. In the event of an incident we were to contact the guard shack over the radio. The guard shack would contact HQ and request permission to distribute ammo. If permission was given, the OD would have to give the NCO at the guard shack the combination to the safe and somebody would have to run about 300 yeards to bring you ammo. You're already dead. Tankers went away and we got Bradleys and Cobras. The airfield was about a mile or so away from the Kaserne surrounded on all sides by farm land. Despite the constant presence of the U.S. armed forces some idiot thought Germans would be afraid to see guns while working their fields so we were only allowed to guard our Cobras with axe handles and no radio. If there was trouble we were supposed to run into the hangar and use the phone in an office that was always locked at night. Every so often somebody would jump the fence. One of our soldiers kicked in the door to get to the phone and received an Article-15 for destruction of government property. Next time around they didn't bother with the phone. Germans were staging a protest outside the gate. A couple of rads jumped the fence and started spray painting the Cobras. The two guards charged with axe handles swinging and beat them to a pulp. No Article-15s were given. Germany 1988-1990. |

From the land where people drive on the wrong side of the road, drink warm beer, and eat eel. Wrong side of the road! Do you realise Europe was always on the left until the french changed it? Basically you followed the french. Only southerners eat eel by the way, edit again. Our gun laws have nothing to do with the monarchy. It was a knee jerk act of parliament that no pussy government would ever dare reverse. What's wrong with copying the French? You mad cause they helped the right side during the revolution? That's because we are a bunch rebellious bastard children

An officer scattering live ammunition in amongst his colleagues belongings does not amount to lawful possession... Quote HistoryQuoted:

These people are a lost cause.... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2805268/Royal-Protection-officer-arrested-ammunition-personal-lockers-grounds-Buckingham-Palace.html "A Royal Protection officer has been arrested after bullets were found hidden in personal police lockers in the grounds of Buckingham Palace. The 9mm ammunition was found in a dedicated 'police station' within the palace grounds and is believed to be from the Metropolitan Police's own supplies. The officer was arrested at his home on suspicion of misconduct in public office and unlawful possession of ammunition....." An OFFICER possessing ammo INSIDE A POLICE STATION is illegal? No words for this idiocy. . What a fail of a country. What the hell is lawful possession in regard to ammunition? |

fucked up, but lol because it was a police officer.....who would ostensibly arrest someone else for the same thing. My father was a Boston Police officer for 32 years. Police officers in MA have to maintain a gun permit. My father missed his safety class so his permit lapsed. Police showed up at his house to seize his personal firearms and BPD took his service weapon and launched an IA investigation. He could have lost his pension and been sentenced to five years in prison if they prosecuted him. We have scared little chickens in the US too. There's your answer. A few retarded states do not equal the entire country |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
£50, a secure gun cabinet and filling a form in is not a lot of red tape. We aren't an armed people because we don't need it yet. That may change...on the other hand we don't have wackos running around shooting schools and other innocents up anything like as often as you do..... Quote HistoryQuoted:

Practically you are a disarmed people. Lets not pretend otherwise. Yes with a lot of red tape you can own some simple firearms. You can't have modern defensive rifles, nor can you carry handguns or even generally possess them in the home. What's your violent crime rate like? |
