CS: Crime-Getting the guns off the street!!
From: "E.J. Totty", [EMAIL PROTECTED] If he is a police armourer he almost certainly has Section 5 authority so there is an excellent chance he has done nothing wrong. Steve. Steve, David, Maybe he irritated someone? That comment above about "enough weapons to start a war" is about as irresponsible a remark as I've read lately. I certainly would not comment that any object is a weapon, unless it had -- after that fact -- been used as such. So, merely possessing an arm -- and not the ammunition -- is considered having the capability to wage war? In that case, let us head over to whatever authority and register our brains, since it without a question the most important aspect of humanity that allows even the thought to 'wage war'. And, it the wherewithal is knowledge, then we may as well submit to intensive questioning and subsequent constant censure, lest we let the 'cat out of the bag'. -- Well, given that Robin Cook is making lots of speeches at the moment about cracking down on the arms trade perhaps his local police took it to heart. Certainly the Foreign Office have started investigations before of companies like Sandline and various others also that were accused of shipping stuff to Iraq and they all collapsed in court. No doubt the police will search through the pile of stuff they have seized and charge him with minor technical offences that any RFD could be charged with, but who knows, perhaps he is some major criminal.

From: "David M", [EMAIL PROTECTED] Electronic Telegraph ISSUE 2094 Saturday 17 February 2001 300 weapons seized at police armourer's home By David Sapsted POLICE raided the home of their force's armourer and seized almost 300 weapons, including machineguns and grenade launchers. The raid was carried out by officers in six vehicles, accompanied by Army bomb squad officers. A police source said they found "enough weapons to start a war" at the semi-detached cottage in Pakenham, near Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, where Richard Ashley, 55, and his wife Denise have lived for 30 years. Mr Ashley, a licensed firearms dealer, is the official armourer for the Norfolk and Suffolk forces. His contract has been suspended. The raid is believed to be part of an inquiry into overseas arms sales. Mr Ashley, who was freed on police bail without charge, said yesterday: "I have done nothing wrong, so I am not worried." His arrest meant that he was unable to act in a village production of Treasure Island. One villager said: "Richard is a first class chap. You do not get to work for the police unless you are a responsible person." -- If he is a police armourer he almost certainly has Section 5 authority so there is an excellent chance he has done nothing wrong.
