Oh, one of them semi-auto submachine guns. Looks like the UK needs to tighten up on their gun control laws.

A submachine gun is not semi-automatic, unless it is select fire and has been switched to that mode.

If only Britain had passed tough, common-sense gun laws...

Well, we have the first evidence of where those thousands of missing Moslem “refugees” have alighted.

Not to worry. A nightstick always trumps a machine gun.

Thank God for strong gun control laws. It could have been worse.

“Not to worry. A nightstick always trumps a machine gun.”

And a 105 pound Ninja warrior woman trumps all.

Silly Brits you’d think they would have made semi-auto sub machine guns illegal.
You would think they would at least make firing at police officers illegal.

Fully automatic (submachine-guns, etc.) are “prohibited weapons”[15] and require explicit permission from central government to permit ownership. Generally, such permits are not available to private citizens. — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_politics_in_the_United_Kingdom

Apparently someone has difficulty with identifying fire arms. A ‘semi-automatic’ sub-machinegun is simply a large, ungainly pistol.

Not to mention that it may have had a banana clip since it fired more than 10 rounds. OMG!!!!! Semi-automatically of course. I prefer the single action fully semi-auto convertibles myself. With a drum clip.

Who would want a machine gun on a sub anyway? Would the rounds go bouncing all over the place?

Only if operated incorrectly.

Do you actually feel this way? Or is this sarcasm?

I think that they meant that the weapon was a fully automatic single shot revolver

Those are nasty.
