Default Want a handgun?

Panorama, Monday 8:30 p.m. I`ve seen this advertised repeatedly, with close up shots of pistols, bullets and people shooting firearms. In a country where handguns are illegal isn`t this glamourising guns?. Maybe giving the wrong people ideas?. Seems like a dumb idea to me.

Stuff like this never makes sense to me.

When the government were having to toughen up on knife crime, Katy Perry appeared on the front of a magazine brandishing a flick-knife.

Go figure.

Must be because no one in the country apart from the police have access to guns

Do you really think the average gangbanger is likely to even watch a BBC documentary, let alone get inspiration from one on how to move up in his crew?

hardly, the programme is highlighting a loophole in the law which allows these guns to be brought legally into the country under the guise of antiques as supposedly the ammunition is no longer available for them but dodgy types are making their own bullets for them and commiting murders and crimes with them.
