    I like the part where some of the firearms would be retained by Police for museum display ? Coppers must be drooling over which ones to take home with them !

    Did he have a sea mine?

    Wonder how he got them, because you know, I thought banning guns made it impossible to get your hands on them...

    Nothing says FU like running the old scooter through the ringer after his house burns down.

    The whole thing just illustrates once again the complete fail of how the UK has demonized even an interest in firearms history and I suspect another red herring about how dangerous the man's alleged arsenal was.

    So he had over a hundred firearms. I bet most, if not all were either deactivated or so obsolete as to be irrelevant as weapons. Until about 20 years ago one could buy deactivated military arms in the UK without a license of any sort. (remember all those MG42s and Sterling SMGs used as props in the old Star Wars movies?)

    The BBC reported the dangerous collection he had about a week or so. Now this week they highlighted a M1928 Thompson was turned in during a gun amnesty. According to Yahoo.uk today the guns there were also deactivated paperweights made from once functional firearms.

    So much for having a dangerous arsenal and a casual disregard for public safety.

    Lies, all lies on the part of the British government owned media outlet.

    Looks like he lost them all in a boating accident.
