I'm reminded of a quote, and if someone can attribute it to some famous person by all means throw it in:
"When you ban firearms those who wish to do harm or defend themselves will find another means. Then you'll have to ban knives, then you'll have to ban bats and clubs, then pens, and before long you've banned anything that can be remotely used as a weapon."

So you're saying this thread would be a problem for law enforcement then?

This took place on the island of Jersey.

Jersey isn't a part of 'Britain' and has its own laws, including firearms laws.

You can own centrefire rifles and handguns on Jersey.

Other than that, good point, well made.
