I called the Brimingham deact place and they were pretty hopeless really, but between watching Pipkins and eating onion sandwiches they told me that German certificates were not valid in the UK. I said but they are better than the UKs and so he asked his mate didnt he, oi, are German certs ok? nah mate said his mate, and he told me, nah mate, their no good.
I asked him if he knew who the king of Europe was but he didnt know and nor did his mate, so thats that.
I mean, I guess taking heads out of bootoms and saying something intelligent in reference to:
European Weapons Directive 91/477 EEC Annex III (a): For the purposes of this Annex objects which corresponds to the definition of a 'firearm' shall not be included in that definition if they: (a) have been rendered permanently unfit for use by the application of technical procedures which are guaranteed by an official body or recognised by such a body.
Was not in order.
Nor was considering the declared statement that Germin Demilling includes:
Barrel drilled six times, steel pin in barrel, bullet chamber welded, trigger mechnism blocked, bolt head cut 45 degrees and firing pin channel welded.
etc etc.
Just a big fat nah mate.
Im so glad I got out of bed today. Im also glad i voted for the EU. Makes it all worth while knowing totally welded up SMG's are not entering out blessed country where everyone is happy all the time.
I tried calling the London proof house but they had their phone disconnected in 1834 apparently and i'd have to dispatch a courier or messenger or maybe put an add in the London Gazzette. Id sooner try my luck with Sherlock Holmes to be honest.
Anyway, I then dispatched a legal electronic communication to Ryton Arms that informed me that ordering anything from Zib would require huge wads of paper to be filled out as the guns would still be classified as guns until they were determined to be huge lumps of scrap metal, not that this has any bearing what with us not being in the EU or sending them huge tributes each year so they can doze about in a huge fart factory in brussels or some marshy hollow.

Is it me, or does this indicate that through out Europe a firearm rendered unfit for use accordingly is no longer a firearm? Maybe im reading it wrong.
As a note, Ryton say they can deactivated a German spec deac for £60 and get a certificate from the boys from the black stuff ooop north or whereever Birmingham is but i would still have to deal with the paper work as govt officials faff around trying to determine if its a real gun or not and if they have cracked an illicit guns factory ordering scrap metal from Europe and converting it into whatnot etc, taking months and months to do it like whats the point of having certificates in the first place, might as well not have MOT tests or certificates either, not that we do now that they are electronic, but you know what i mean, i mean, why bother if your not going to accept the certificate and insist on having Moriarty carry out microscopic forensic investigation for this and that when the certificate should mean that it doesnt even have to come off the wall, much to the delight of spiders, dust mites and all other microrganisms making apeaceful home on wall hanging ornamanets and all that.
I hope Obama looses the election.
