Massive Weapons Raid in UK

(London) Metropolitan Police swarmed a residence in a suburban neighborhood and confiscated hundreds and hundreds of illegal pump-action shotguns, pistols and semi-automatic weapons stored by a suspected international arms trafficking cartel.

From Daily Mail:

Detective Superintendent Kevin Davis, head of Scotland Yard's Operation Trident squad which targets gun crime in the black community, said the largest amount of weapons had been recovered from a three-bedroom house in a suburban street.

"This is the biggest firearms haul we have ever had," he said. "The premises raided were used to store hundreds and hundreds of weapons. I have never seen anything like it."

Mr Davis added: "Guns are mounted on every available wall space in the property and live ammunition was found lying on the floor.

"There are guns everywhere. It will take us at least three days to log it all and bag up the evidence."

Concurrently, police in New Jersey conducted an operation to apprehend individuals suspected of being the source of the weapons sent to the UK.

The raids were prompted by investigations launched after a series of gangland-type shootings in London last year. The weapons smuggling is reportedly not terrorist-related. A 55-year-old man was arrested in London and an accomplice is being detained in New Jersey.

Stand by. I expect this episode will likely trigger anti-gun advocates to do some loud complaining about America and the Second Amendment.
