A man is beginning a 13-year jail term after a large stash of firearms and ammunition were found in his Salford house.

Paul Gribbin (born 31/12/1970), of Lascar Avenue, Salford, pleaded guilty to nine offences of possession of a prohibited weapon.

He was today, at Manchester Crow Court, Crown Square, sentenced to 13 years in total, six-and-a-half years each for possession of an assault rifle and the seven offences of possession of prohibited weapons and three years for possession of a Ruger rifle, to run concurrently.

In Idaho we call this a starter kit

I’d classify that list as a Birthday gift...surely not any kind of stash.

[DoughtyOne]

In some ways it reminds me of guns a kid might accumulate through his life, from his dad, some friends, perhaps a local merchant.

I’m free, he’s going to prison.

Yeah, but the NSA can draw DHS a map to yours when the time comes.

A USP ?

I'm ashamed of the behavior of the land of my ancestry. What happened to "Never, never, never ...

Stay safe.

They're going to need more DHS.

Piker ....

>> 13 years ... for possession

And sentencing periods for murderers, rapists, and pedophiles?

I wish someone would invent a self mowing lawn mower.

I’d love to know if he is a member of EDL, and did they go after him because of it...

Not having a Bill of Rights is a standard thing with third world countries like Egypt, Syria, Britain, Mexico, etc.

He had a Ruger .22 rifle! (hushed silence)

"Detective Chief Inspector Chris Downey, based at Swinton CID, said: "Gribbin's hoard was an astonishing array of weaponry the likes of which we rarely see."

Golly! Nine firearms found. The Chief Inspector would be overcome with a case of the vapors if he ever set foot in a typical Texas gun show. Bring smelling salts, Chief.

Coming soon to a country near all of us.

No drugs were found.

LOL

Is this the place where they evacuated a city block because of a live .22 long-rifle cartridge?

13 years for a couple of guns, which were not used to hurt anyone. Another, linked on the same page, received 7.5 years for cutting the throat of another guy. Sounds like their priorities are pretty screwed up.
