Looks like a sting operation to me. $374 for a illegal Glock from New Jersey to England?

So he can choose a gender that denies chromosomal science, but he can’t have a gun? He can smoke & drink.

New Glock 19s run about $650 around here, I looked when at the range yesterday. I would expect selling one illegally would bring more.

Concur with your assessment.

And this "gun dealer" was selling handguns direct online, shipping internationally?

If there's any truth to this, the descriptor needs to be "ILLEGAL gun dealer".

Somethin stinketh.. d;^)

He did not actually posses a gun. He was arrested for trying to buy a gun.

There was no gun. What was the crime?

Let’s see. Suppose someone in a store tries to put a piece of merchandise in his pocket and walk out, but actually has only stolen an empty box. Is that the crime of shoplifting?

Suppose a man thinks the lump on the bed is his dog, and shoots it, but it’s only a pillow. Crime?

Suppose a man thinks the lump on the bed is his wife, and shoots it, but it’s his dog. Crime?

A decoy policewoman posing as a hooker gets a man to give her money for sex. He’s arrested, she’s not.

A cop solicits a hooker and gives her money for sex then arrests her.

“...the evidence that he was inspired by mass murderers was sufficient to convict him of attempted crimes.”

1st Degree Wrongthink.

Off with his head.

I’m willing to bet they didn’t use the Bitcoin exchange rate from the day the trade went through.

Britain is now a fascistic loony bin. You get arrested for criticizing Islam online. Your interest in firearms is noted. Boris Johnson intends to flood the country with more Muslims.

No plans to ever visit UK. I’ll get my own fish & chips and London gin here.

The crime then is "attempting with intent". IN other words, he failed to accomplish something that the government believes he thought about. As I want the USA back has commented, that's pretty flimsy excuse for an arrest but that's not what I wanted to comment on.

I don't think that this story has anything to do with guns really. Firearms are just convenient hobgoblins to scare Brits. Im not up on use of media to form public opinion to control masses and all of that kind of stuff but Im confident that this story is early ground work for English attempts at somehow banning or blocking the common person from accessing what we presently think of as the dark web.

The internet in its present form will soon reach an evolutionary dead end and more and more people are becoming so concerned about privacy and censorship that they are turning to the dark web. The dark web and how its control is distributed threatens establishments and status quo of present governments world wide.

Rather than ramble on, Id like to offer this video, How the mysterious dark net is going mainstream, to illustrate what Im speaking to. At first the presenter seems like the stereotypical drug addled professor but continue to pay attention hes going somewhere important. I really don't think that Im making a poor assumption to believe that Trump and present administration would probably like more of us to better understand this upcoming issue.

You see, on the dark web there is no main stream media that can create a monopoly to attempt to control your thoughts and no way to censor those who speak contrary to government in an effort to corral everyone back on to the plantation of the governments choice. Understanding that the dark web has great positive potential to increase freedom also exposes us to the negative side, the very "dark" side of human endeavors. Not just drugs or guns or other things governments have told us are evil but things that in reality we all intuitively understand to be true evil like human trafficking and as all of you that have been paying attention know, ending human trafficking has been half the effort of the Trump administration thus far.

Oh, dear. You’re not allowed to use a firearm to defend your life in England. The government maintains your life isn’t worth anything. Guess he’ll have to use a sharpened butter knife like everyone else.
