Utter nonsense:

What the fatal attack on British politician Jo Cox says about guns in the UK - World - NZ Herald News

Lets be honest ant what is stopping anyone from loading a lorry up in Eastern Europe laden with AK-47's and RPG's? Then stuffing a few pockets to ensure passage into the schengen zone, from there is is pretty easy to smuggle weapons into the UK. It is pretty naive to think that this has not been done already.
whilst it may be very difficult if not impossible to obtain a firearms licence legally in the uk, those who want a gun for illegal use have never found it easier to obtain one.

the country is well supplied with illegal arms from eastern europe and those of criminal intent will know exactly where to go, who to ask and what to pay for a quickly sourced weapon and ammunition.

they come into the country by sea and it is almost impossible to open and examine the contents of every container offloaded at uk ports.
As stated previously ,its babys work to buy an illegal firearm , now its very difficult indeed for even a law abiding citizen in the UK to obtain an FAC ,a Shot gun permit is not the same and even to get one of those these days means check ups by the police ,home visits etc etc and even then you may be turned down , Heroin, Coke ,Ecstasy ,Amphetamines etc etc etc are all highly illegal in the UK so there for should not be easily purchased , really? , don't make me bloody laugh .
