Just recieved some torch mounting bits from Ali express today.
Seemed to work fine tho it was an arse dealing with their inability to admit stuff isn't available until you go to pay.
Or ideally a government could actually commit to the hard yards of figuring out why knife crime is a thing amongst certain age groups and start tackling the underlying causes as well as actually using existing legislation to make being caught wit a knife or using one not worth it.
I mean Pornhub does keep listing her as an 'amateur' despite the fact that she's had more pricks than a second hand dartboard..... or the ahem "combined mileage" being more than some of the space shuttles have covered.
On a related note..... £40 postage, that shit wants to be coming next day delivery in a silk lined ebony case for that kinda cost.
Welp.... the laws behind that got snuck through rather quietly unless I missed something?
IIRC post snowdrop petition there was a spate of 'robberies' whereby gun safes got "emptied by thieves" and paid out at insured value by house insurance rather than acceptance of the pennies on the pound offer that was being made for legally held handguns.
Noted. And not to get into an argument with a random on the internet......
But the fact remains that nigh on every time there is an incident like this it is a cosplayer that has decided to mince round central london/a major train station etc with a RIF. The fact that most major conventions have in their house rules not to bring realistic replicas as part of your cosplay further undermines the point of Just-Cos......
Going with the original post from this thread I'm aware of at least one zombie series that makes repeated references to TWD about the characters repeatedly ending up covered in 'walker' blood, guts etc and yet suffering no ill effects whatsoever from being slathered head to toe in biologically hazardous/infectious fluids. However 1 tiny scratch when its needed for the plot and that's it they're done.
Many many moons ago a pressure group called "Mothers against Guns" wheeled out an 'expert' who was willing to testify that aeg's could easily be converted to fire live ammo. (Edit: as of 2023 the gun control network is still spreading this lie.) The fact that the doris who was running the group was married to an MP let that bit of misinformation get a LOT further than it should have, and this was before non IRA terrorism became "the new normal".
See also the number of times that carrying a knife in public has been made illegal. Pretty sure we're on the 4th or 5th time that a government has decided to make a big fuss of creating legislation to ban knife crime rather than just enforcing the existing laws......
I wouldn't mind but it would help if when the assorted comiccons said "no realistic replica firearms" in their rules they actually enforced it.....
That said the decision to walk through London open carry style is indicative of how badly we need Darwinian Evolution to kick in again.
And the gate has once again been left open at the c**t farm.

Conveniently just as certain politicians might be looking for a distraction. Also can we please use this to get rid of Just-Cos because its clearly letting lackwits threaten our hobby.
I'm gonna suggest if it was genuine TM in the £500 GunSmith Bros kit he'd definitely be mentioning it....
Also drum mag on a gbbr tell me thats been run on ridiculous round counts at stoopid pressures with out saying "I'm a speedsofter".
