the most fluid outlet of guns that i've been witness to, comes from the drug addicted son of a very popular gun store owner. the son would put the word out for the what his dad had in his store, cut the price in half and sold them on the street. i would have no idea how easy it is in the uk to attain weaponry, but it's really just as easy as deciding you want to find a bag of weed here. you tell someone you're looking or a cutter or a hammer and within 2 or 3 degrees of separation, you're at the chinese store with him, looking at his stash in the trunk of his car.

i wish it were a more complex deal than that. the background check used to run a week, i'd put a deposit down with the proper papeprwork and they'd call me when i cleared (or didn't). since i haven't bought anything in a long time, i can't be sure of this - but i think someone said they have an instant check now. i don't see how you can properly vet someone's mental history as well as criminal check (violent crime, controlled substances or dui), instantly. lastly, none of it matters if people buy thru the legal loopholes - there are many of them (gunshows, transfers from parents or relatives, etc...) that require no check whatsoever.

there is almost no gun control, from my pov.
