Here in Britain, I can still get a gun: despite what happened after Dunblane.
If it’s a 22 or 177 air rifle/pistol I need a licence I have to apply for via Humberside Police. I do have a Springfield Armoury XDM, Beretta M92 in a carbine adapter, a KWA M93R with extended magazine & folding stock, and RoboCop’s Auto 9, but these are airsoft ones that - because I’m not a member of a skirmishing group - have to be two-toned for me to obtain & own legally. And although I have plenty of green/white gas to power these blowback ones, a goodly supply of 6mm plastic pellets and a catch target frame by Tokyo Marui - the pioneers of airsoft - I mainly have these for display (and a sense of nostalgia for the gun model kits by LS I used to make in the late 1970s-1980s). And although I had to wait 6 & 9 months for the M93R and Auto 9 respectively due to demand worldwide, I eventually got them. You live in the US, OP.
And you need to so much as contemplate the notion of even thinking of asking ’Who provided him with the rifle he used to kill Charlie Kirk’, Laura Loony…?!
Scott deShields Jr: he of YouTube’s Kentucky Ballistics fame who has in his sizeable collection - which includes a 950 JDJ Fat Mac rifle: one of only three in existence - a Solothurn & a Lahti: both 20mm anti-tank cannons. Question:
Do you think he had to have someone provide those for him, OP…?! [/Doug Piranha-levels of sarcasm]
