Could you buy a gun easily in Dublin?

    I've been watching a show on Virgin about the Hutch, Kinihan row and a fella on there says he could buy a gun within minutes from his office. Is that really true or is he exaggerating? Dublin can't be that rough surely.

    They sell guns in my local centra - right next to skipping ropes, bubbles and bouncy balls.

    1.99 each.

    You can buy almost anything in Dublin if you have the money and know who to ask.

    I'd sell you one, but I need to know whether you're 'Team Hutch' or 'Team Kinahan' first.

    You can get a gun easily enough...the bullets will cost you your first born though.

    Throw in a half portion of chicken balls and you have a deal.

    There is or used to be an Internet cafe just opposite Connolly Station that sells (or used to sell) an array of fire arms. They may have been pellet guns for all I know but anyone could buy em.

    It depends on who you know. I'd hazard a guess that you wouldn't have to travel more than a mile or two in Dublin to find the nearest gun to you. That doesn't mean you can get your hands on one yourself.

    If you're in the right place at the right time the ERU may even give you a free loaded MP7.

    So many rats with contacts in the guards around...so unless you're well known and trusted you would find it difficult and would most likely be set up and handed over

    I used to go to FAS on the Northside. It was a program for people who left school early. Some I don't even think got the chance to do any second-level education at all, which is sad. Anyways, there were a few lads who fancied themselves as low-level drug dealers - mainly hash I think - and I was friendly with two of them.

    There's a good chance that at least one of them is still involved in some element of criminality, so I reckon I could get a piece from him if I re-established contact. And if not from him, he could certainly point me in the right direction.

    I'm based in North inner city, let me tell you 1 thing, if you went looking for a gun and you had no contacts you'd either get robbed on the spot or battered.

    You can't approach someone looking for a gun unless you know them, or unless you're stupid enough to take the risk.

    That’s Cleary’s pub you’re thinking off.
