Officers from the National Crime Agency seized 22 automatic assault rifles, 9 Skorpion machine pistols, 58 magazines, 2 silencers and around 1,000 live rounds of ammunition.
Smuggled from France and you know they came all the way from old Soviet satellite countries. And you know that is not the only shipment going to the British Islands and God only knows what else is floating around mainland Europe
But hey, No gun deaths but all those accidental hangings are such a blight in Jolly Old England.
PS: AM I weird or am I the only one that likes Skorpions?
I would totally love a Skorpion.
Ditto
1100 rpm and controllable? What’s not to like.
Same here.
I’m a big fan of SMGs and machine pistols in general. Skorpions are cool.
Though I’m not an expert on Czech firearms I’m somewhat surprised by the short barreled Sa vz 58 in the pics above. From what I understand the shorter ones are custom builds / modern mods. At the same time they still have the old school/standard issue furniture and look.
At least one of the terrorists in Paris back in January also had a Sa vz 58 apparently sourced through Belgium. He bought it among other guns with a personal loan. “Credit card Jihad”
All while I have to file approximately 10 pages of paperwork each time I want to buy extra “restricted guns” and every five years. And I’m pretty sure his Sa vz 58 had the fun switch …
Gun control at its best of course.
I would love a Skorpion in .22 TCM with a drum mag 🙂
I wonder who these weapons were intended for? ISIS in Birmingham?
[…] Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey is trying to convince everyone that gun control works. Show some faith in action, Senator. Take a stroll through Dorchester at 2AM without your security detail. I mean, Massachusetts has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation. What do you have to worry about? It’s working great in Britain too. […]
