Met launches video as part of 2019 National Firearms Surrender

During these two weeks members of the public can hand in a firearm or ammunition to police anonymously, and will not face prosecution for illegal possession at the point of surrender.

Weapons and ammunition can be handed in at one of 33 police stations across London.

Any firearm including handguns, shotguns, rifles, BB guns, imitations as well as any antique, ex-military weapons or ammunition can be surrendered. Registered weapons which are no longer wanted can be handed in, as well as non-lethal firearms such as Tasers, CS spray and stun guns.

Hand your weapons to the police in a surveillance state and pretend it is anonymous. Hmmmm....

lol

Except for a few edge cases, the only reason having a firearm in the UK would ruin you life is because of the law. Otherwise, it's just a hunk of metal and plastic. And BB guns? You can't even have BB guns? ridiculous.

A small jack knife or a baseball bat can get you jailed in jolly old England.. Yet they still have people who qualify for the SAS.

There's a reason why knife resistant shirts are being sold in Jolly Old England. It's because they are breeding a culture of victims.

Would you expand on that? That makes no sense to me. Knife resistant shirts would seem to be sold to resist knives, not due to breeding.

I don't appreciate the insinuation.

I believe that self defense is a human right (including the right to carry a firearm). I also believe that nazis should be challenged and chased out of communities at every opportunity.

If your option for self defense is a knife-resistant shirt, you're already being trained to be a victim of violence orchestrated in part by a failure in law enforcement policies and gun rights policies.

Your argument made no sense to me. Thanks for expanding on that.

Insinuation of what? American (and probably other countries) far-right breed a victimhood culture, not knife resistant shirts.

I support the right to own body armor (in some states, that is a felony). That doesn't have anything to do with victimhood.

When someone is told that they cannot defend themselves, and the state proposes laws that prevent them from being able to engage in lawful self-defense, that is a culture of victimhood. That is not only greated by the far-right, moderate/center-left statists and corporatists also engage in those sorts of victimhood politics. It's not a left/right issue.

Owning body armor is not the same as a politician telling you that the solution to muggings and shootings is to go out and buy body armor. Is there a sudden surge in purchases for kevlar vests? If so, that speaks to a problem that is not being addressed. I am unaware of any increases in the purchases in body armor currently though.

I don't blame you for not appreciating the insinuation. What you were saying and getting at was crystal clear. how it could be confused as white supremacist talking points is, well, frankly bizarre.

Sounds like you two are confused. I explained what I wrote and asked for an explanation. Chill.

Perhaps you live in a bubble. I also think that if you think that talking about "a culture of victimhood" as being a "white supremacist talking point", you should take it up with the many people, articles, and sources that disagree with your flawed premise:

Here's one:

I also think that you should be careful insinuating someone is using white supremacist talking points, when there is absolutely no basis for that bullshit claim.
