Gangs Sharing Guns

[i]Rival criminal gangs are being forced to share guns, analysis by police firearms experts has revealed.

The National Ballistics Intelligence Service (Nabis) has identified a “middle market” between users and suppliers of the deadly weapons.

Guns may be held in a central point and even “rented” to different sides of the same conflict, they said.

Detective Chief Superintendent Paul James said: "We see the same guns being used over and over again.

"Scarcity is such that they are exploiting that weapon, to lease and rent those firearms out.

“The same gun can be used by people on both sides of the equation. One gun on an estate can be used by people you would not expect to be allies.”[/i]

LMFAO!

What is going on here…

The middle man is getting rich letting the fools from both side kill each other with the same gun.

Must be an American supplying them.

Maybe that’s why reddog6376 was being so vague…

Is he implying that siezed weapons wind up BACK on the street? Sounds like some kind of issue with the police service needs to be fixed.

No I’m pretty sure that’s not the case. Most likely forensics is finding similar shells in very different cases, which utilized the same gun indicated via the unique barrel indentations that are left on bullet casings after said weapon is fired.

Sounds like the oldest trick in the book. Sell guns to both sides, and when they are down and out give them loans with high interest to both sides. Who says war isn’t profitable?

I so love the fact that I can go to my local Walmart and buy a huge freaking machete for $7 off a general rack, no one batting an eye, then skip over to Gander Mountain and buy a shotgun with nothing more than my driver’s license.
