Hi, have a look at this article about a school project in Portlaoise! Friends of mine went to school there...better not mess with them now, I guess ;) I was really surprised that they apparently had no difficulties ordering the guns.

I was really surprised that they apparently had no difficulties ordering the guns.
And it's a bit of an extreme school project, don't you think?!

However, they got a good point across!!

Yeah I saw that.

It's not that shocking tbh considering a regular guy in England was nearly able to purchase an atomic bomb.

Already being discussed over on the Shooting Forum.

For what it's worth, they don't appear to have purchased or 'brokered' any guns. They got hold of some stuff that's available in any bondage shop (handcuffs, leg shackles), sent a Tazar from a jurisdiction where it's legal to another jurisdiction where it's also legal, and found someone selling a gadget for 'throwing stones'.
I'll be watching the program to see what a 'stone throwing machine' is.
