Not a great place to put a gun, but the baby would not have had the strength to fire the weapon.
But a guy who did a hit and run and killed a young girl only got four years. Only in England.
Jailed for 6 years? In Britain???? They don’t jail people for 6 years in Britain who mug and kill people. The British justice system is really screwed up.
Muzie didn’t want evil Christians to kidnap his future terororist.
The baby was in terrible danger from the proximity of the gun. it could, too easily, have crawled over and strangled the infant.
I have a beautiful example of a Cogswell & Harrison conversion of a S&W Victory Model 38 S&W to accept 38 Special cartridges. They also added a ramped front sight and removed the parkerizing and blued/polished it.
Several barrel pressure test markings and C&H stamps as well as the old V-model Serial Number on the Lanyard Ring bottom of the butt....nice gun...got it for a song...
Whew, imagine if those six bullets had teamed up with an SUV!
I found my answer at the link:
Under the current law anyone found guilty of possessing an illegal firearm faces a minimum sentence of five years in prison.
I have the Cimarron Arms (Uberti made) Model 3 Russian of this in 45 Colt....a very nice gun...the Russian Model 3 has a couple of variations on the model 2...a lanyard ring, and a finger tang below the trigger guard....this is a pricey replica... an original 44 would be worth a lot more I’d guess.... The later Schofield I have in 45 colt is very similar, but has a much better retention mechanism that doesn’t require two hands to break it open to reload like the Russian...

They found an antique Russian Smith and Wesson 44 revolver wrapped in a blanket in the child’s cot near where he was sleeping on a bed.
LOL, a “Russian” S&W? I must have missed something or didn’t read that right.
Because everyone knows that if it was just a .22 the bullets would bounce off the kids. At most they'll cry some and you'll have to buy them some ice cream to make them feel better. < /sarc>
2) That said, it's still good to get someone out of circulation who's first name is 'Mohammad'.
DNA on the cartridges? Well, that's odd.
I've noticed a trend in these articles, where writers or editors use "DNA" to describe pretty much any forensic evidence. I guess it's quicker than typing out "fingerprints", or some other *accurate* description.
On the other hand, something strange seems to be going on here, what with the machete and all, and I can't get all that worked up about sending this guy to prison.
In fact, I'd have thought they would have suspended his sentence because his name is Mohammed. Who knows, maybe they will?
those models...I have one...shoots 205 grain cowboy BP loads
are double action
if this was truly an infant and it was wrapped in a blanket
not much danger in my opinion
not a great idea but in UK they love to give gun court time out
here they are worth 5-600 and up..way up for some
mine is cherry..shoots a lot of lead at low recoil and velocity
you can buy them without any paperwork...pre 1899 black powder
“Each of those six bullets could have killed someone.”
After killing six people, he could’ve then killed both the woman and child by beating them over the had with the butt of the empty gun. And then he could’ve thrown the gun at the dog, striking it with sufficient force to kill it. And then, when the unarmed bobbies arrived and wrestled him to the floor, he could’ve sneezed on them, transmitting flu germs that could ultimately kill the coppers. He could also cuss out the innocent bystanders, calling them vile and horrific names which would probably lead them to commit suicide over the emotional abuse he heaped on them.
PS - so like an infant can pick up the gun and pull the trigger? Is there more to this story?
