Military grade! 😮😮😮 Words used just to add shock value. 5.56/.223 could be viewed as 'military grade'.... The truth is they were not banned because they are NOT a problem!

Clearly the Independent has not read the OWB or it's Amendments that passed through the House of Commons yesterday. All firearms using a Manually Actuated Release System or Lever Release will be banned by OWB. But firearms with 10kft/lbs muzzle energy will not.

The bribes from arms companies paid dividends. Literally.

What a load of misleading tosh. They removed a proposal to ban rifles held under licence, by people who have already been vetted by police, because people like LouHaigh think they can say 'Labour took steps against gun crime', yeah, by making up new crimes for no reason.

I'm not British (but my great great grandpa was) but what kind of .50 cals are in the UK? Like Barrets?

Define military grade please? Every piece of legislation targetting firearms in this bill was flawed based on what appears to be deliberate lies from police agencies and politicians. Why isnt that news worthy?

About bloody time the Westminster loonies rediscovered a fraction of a degree of their lost sanity

Why? Which one of them has shares.....?
