Here is the number one thing to take away from this story:


A number of 9mm semi-automatic pistols believed to have been bought by Mr Greenoe for $500 each in a North Carolina gunshop were offered for sale at up to £5,000 (Roughly $8000) a piece in Britain a week later, according to the Times.

In this case, it wouldn't matter.

Handguns (with certain exceptions for muzzleloading antiques or replicas), of any kind, are prohibited in the UK.

As are any forms of self loading rifle, semi or auto.
