And there was me thinking that terrorists tends to use use

a) illegal weapons because they can have semi or full auto
or failing that
b) hired 7.5 ton box van.....

Don't anyone mention to her what small percentage those figures of stolen firearms represent.......

Just another virtue signaller/point scorer who hasn't got a clue what she's talking about. Glad to see so many polite messages putting her right clapclap

39 rifles were stolen this year and 165 shotguns from lawful firearms holders.
I would like to know where she got those numbers from.

Regardless, that’s a lot of victims of crime that this MP is using to creat an implication that they are somehow culpable. Despicable behaviour!
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!

Labour, what do you expect ;)

However, those numbers do not match the ones I have which are in the public domain, certificates are much more likely to go missing than the actual firearms.

Rather sadly she seems more intent on political point scoring rather than dealing with the actual issue.

Has she got any views on the industrial scale cover up of the child grooming gangs by the authorities???? Bandwagon jumper of the highest order.
Political Correctness is the language of lies, written by the corrupt , spoken by the inept!
