http://www.thisisnottingham.co.uk/Nottingham-drug-dealer-jailed-caught-sub-machine/story-16292077-detail/story.htmlI'm sick to death with reading about honest farmers being harrassed by the police. This honest farmer, who needed a real gun probably, not a deact with a naffed barrel to shoot rats and crows probably that might have nibbled his crop of barley or wheat or what ever product he was growing to meet the needs of honest slaves, er, I mean subjects of the realm. etc.
You do the police hate farmers so much? Food is a small independent farmers are nessessary to ensure diversity in preperation for times of war.
I went to the Thomas Edison museum and he was as mad as a hatter and spent years trying to grow a rubber plant that would make America free from the tyranny of German Rubber. he was obsessed by making America non reliant on rubber because of how useful it was in making tyres.
In the end they decided that oil based tyres were better as there would always be oil and Thomas Edisons rubber extracting equipment was super gay and sucked donkeys balls.
im trying to grow illegal drunks in the mid-atlantic ocean trough, except im having difficulty getting electricity down that far as i dont have an extension or anything. But when i do im going to grow LSD plants and the police will never find me.
got to go now, im trying to deactivate my kettle in case the police discover i have a fully automatic kettle in my kitchen. Its awesome and makes hot water and everything however, the lights dim a bit when i put it on, but its ok as they come back on after which is like a super joy like light after dark and all that.
LEONARD Ward was described in court as a man with a "fascination with firearms".
He was arrested after police found him with an adapted CZ-25 sub-machine gun.
The weapon had been deactivated – meaning it could no longer fire rounds – but upon closer inspection they discovered something more sinister.
Attempts had been made to "re-activate" the gun, and if anyone had tried to fire a live round, it may have caused an explosion and injury.
Ward denied knowledge of this, saying he bought the gun from an associate who needed cash and did not know it had been tampered with.
Nottingham Crown Court heard the gun was originally sold online for £600 and handed over to three people in a Mansfield Woodhouse car park.
Legally there is nothing to prevent deactivated guns being bought and sold. The only requirement is that the gun comes with a certificate from a Home Office-approved centre saying that it has been deactivated.
Ward, 31, of Meredith Close, The Meadows, was present when the car park deal was done.
One month later he bought the gun, which had a deactivation certificate, for a reduced price when the original buyer needed cash, the court heard.
Police recovered the gun, blank ammunition and one live cartridge of ammunition from an address in Carlton.
The pin on the weapon had been reconstructed, but it was not capable of firing a live round, only blanks.
Officers also found £660 of cannabis, scales and cash during the raid last November.
Ward was arrested a few minutes later in a car.
A second address was searched in St Ann's and police found two rooms were being used to produce cannabis.
The haul was valued at £28,000 and weighed two and three-quarter kilos. Ward's fingerprints were found there.
Michael Upson told the court in mitigation: "He had an interest in weapons. He had other weapons at the property that were legal to hold."
He told Judge Andrew Hamilton that Ward thought it was a lawful weapon to hold and did not notice any changes to it. "To put a live round in, it would be a folly of the gravest nature," said Mr Upson.
There was a risk of explosion, damage or injury if a live round was fired, he added.
The judge said he suspected the gun had something to do with the drugs.
Ward pleaded guilty to four charges. He received five years in prison for possessing an adapted CZ-25 sub-machine gun.
He received three years concurrently for possessing a reloaded 9mm "Parabellum'' calibre bullet on November 24. Two years consecutively was given for possessing cannabis with intent to supply and two years concurrently for producing cannabis. The total he will serve is seven years.
Judge Hamilton said: "It seems to me you were present when this deactivated firearm was purchased with a certificate and, you say it passed into someone else's possession, and it came into your possession.
"You had fascination with firearms.
"I'm satisfied, when purchased, you had a good look at it and when it came back into your possession efforts had been made to reactivate it but not completely."
After the case, Nottingham anti-gun crime group the Peace and Unity Alliance called for a review in the law. They want to see more done to control who can get hold of deactivated weapons.
Trevor Fothergill, of the alliance, said: "This case is alarming. I think the law needs to be reviewed urgently."
Glynn Gilfoyle, vice-chairman of Notts Police Authority, said: "It would seem to me that it would be sensible that owners are licensed and registered."
