Police have seized 833 guns in Britain as part of an operation aimed at preventing criminals and terrorists gaining access to illegal firearms. The National Crime Agency and counter-terrorism officers made 282 arrests during a month-long joint initiative that started in October. Guns seized ranged from pistols to assault rifles and machine guns. |

In spite of formally great Britain's draconian gun laws, the criminals still have guns. The gun laws only disarm law abiding subjects and make them prey for the gun toting criminals.
If the police sized 833 guns you can bet that more than 99 percent or 82,500 are still out there. It just confirms that the gun restrictions on law abiding citizens are rather absurd. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
