But....but... I thought it was illegal to own and carry handguns in England! How in the world is it possible that these people ended up shooting handguns in the streets of London during the riots???

A serious piece of evidence showing that when you outlaw firearms, only outlaws will have firearms.

Making firearms isn't very difficult. The gun being fired looks like a home made single shot, perhaps black powder handgun. Look at the video closely and the unique muzzle flash.

Since he has a gun, then he must be a british LEO,

the UK is a "civilized" country not even the swat teams are issued guns. The most aggressive weapon they can get is a night stick and a tear gas grenade. anything beyond that requires the military.

So, maybe the government ordered a soldier to open fire?

Unpossible! No, really, there are many over there in the hands of brigands and hooligans. Their gun violence rate has been climbing since the ban.

“The group, all masked and wearing black clothing, caused extensive damage to the pub and the surrounding area, which has been plagued by shootings in recent years.

Wait wait wait; this area has been PLAGUED by shootings in recent years? Hmm. Firearms bans must be working pretty damn well, then...

I almost thought flair gun until the helicopter view. I doubt it was any sort of homemade firearm, simply because I dont think even a rioter would be dumb enough to try to carry something like that in a riot, but then again, people have done dumber things.

This isn't exactly true. I remember reading a piece by Leroy Thompson a few years ago. He stated British police have always had access to firearms. The jacket that the Bobbies wore used to have the front pockets reinforced with canvas. They could carry an S&W Model 10, with a 4" barrel, in those pockets. If they were carrying firearms, most people didn't know because they were always concealed in those pockets. He stated that a detective was one of the hostages in the Iranian Embassy when it was attacked and occupied in May of 1980. He had an S&W Model 36 on him the entire time! He wasn't searched for weapons because everybody "knows" the British Police are "unarmed".

Those of us familiar with "real" history, not the BS they feed kids nowadays, know what happened the last time the "civilized" folks disarmed themselves.

You think they'll eventually come begging the US government AND civilians to send them guns so they can defend themselves from the parasites and invaders?
