Massacre guns on sale in the UK
The Sun UK ^

LETHAL assault rifles like the one used in America’s Sandy Hook school massacre are being LEGALLY sold in Britain.
A Welsh-based firm is advertising a Ruger SR-22 semi-automatic as a “clone” of an AR-15, the gun loner Adam Lanza used to kill 26 people.
Shocked campaigners are demanding new gun controls after The Sun discovered British dealers selling the weapons.
A similar gun to Lanza’s intimidating Bushmaster AR-15 is being sold by Arundel Militaria, based in Knighton, Powys.
Anybody wanting to own the gun in Britain would need a section 1 firearms licence.

To put this into perspective, my 8-year old daughter has an SR-22.
It replaced her pink Ruger 10-22 because she’s a lefty and the discharged rounds burned her arm.
I believe she’s murdered over 1000 iron siloutte targets of dinosaurs, ground hogs, and squirrels.

That does indeed put it in perspective. Not that that would bother The Sun. It makes a good hysterical headline!

how many asses does one need to kiss to get a license for a massacre gun? Brits don't kiss ass. They kiss 'arse.'

The Ruger SR-22 is a 22-caliber rimfire pistol. Technically the pistol is the SR-22P, and the rifle is the SR-22R.

MRS Turbo and I both got new .22 massacre weapons yesterday.
I already had a bunch of ‘hicap’ massacre mags for them so figured it was time to get the rifles ,too.

.22s are allowed for hunting in almost every state. The restrictions are on deer and bear in VA. Has to be .23 or larger.

Many states also ban hunting deer with a .223 mil-round rifle with the big cartridge shown in post #4.

The most beautiful sight I remember was Dove Dale and the wonderful clear water of the River Dove there in Derbyshire.

.22s are allowed for hunting in almost every state. Sorry I was not clear. I did not mean to include small game such as rabbit and squirrel. I believe all states restrict hunting with 22 rim-fire, but will allow it for small animals.

Sounds like a good idea. Everyone should have one.
