Как это делается в Британии

Увидел на Куоре наблюдения английского торговца оружием. Великобритания не известна дружественным отношением к гражданскому оружию, но... Было забавно увидеть разницу. Например, глушитель там не считается страшным и ужасным приспособлением, требующим отдельного разрешения, зато есть лимит на закупку боеприпасов, и т.п.
As a gun person, what is your biggest eye roll when you see new gun owner?

I can answer this from a dealer perspective.
Most people with a freshly printed licence are decent folk who have been around shooting for while, most belonging to a club or clay shooting range. They ask for advice, and usually follow it when given.
Then there's Rambo. Rambo comes running into the shop so soon after getting his licence that the ink is still dripping. If Rambo is poor, he will spend £600 on the Umarex Colt M4 in 22lr, a cheap gun safe and a full set of army surplus camo gear. If Rambo is rich he will get the M4, several extra 30 round mags, bdu Mag pouches, a tac vest, helmet, radio system and a new set of black combat boots. On his tac vest he will fit a 5000 lumen torch, a full combat first aid kit. There will be a huge Buck knife in a kydex sheath. If we have any tac vests with plate carriers he'll buy the plates too as that will make him totally bulletproof. He will then go into the Airsoft section and pick up camo facepaint and some “ballistic” goggles (made to stop a plastic Airsoft bb from getting in your eyes, but practically useless for everything else). Rambo will buy the biggest, baddest suppressor he can see in the display cabinets, even though the smallest one is much better and he'll buy his maximum allowance of ammo in one transaction. To safely store his guns he will buy a 10 gun cabinet as they all had biometric locks and electronic numberpads.
What formidable foe is Rambo going up againt with all this tactical gear? Rabbits on a local farm.
If Rambo also has a shotgun licence he would get one of those too. Poor Rambo would get a second hand over and under browning or Beretta. Rich Rambo would buy brand new. Always a Mossberg pump action.
I like Rambo as I always sell a lot and earn more money. I keep my mouth shut as I learned a long time ago they will not take my advice anyway.

Не потому, что их туда посадят, а потому что в тюрьме (после того как оттуда убежали все охранники и заключённые), проще всего организовать круговую оборону.
Ага
