英国买猎枪¶
Reminder: Recently, there was a guy who wanted to buy a gun in the UK. It is possible, but generally, you can only purchase types of guns like shotguns, and you need to have a license to buy them. The application process is relatively easy.
Severe warning: It is illegal to possess, manufacture, import, sell, or engage in any activities related to replica firearms or similar items in the UK. It is considered illegal behavior!
However, due to the diversity and complexity of human beings, if you insist on not obtaining a license, it's up to you, but you know the consequences. If you can handle the consequences, then it's your choice. If you want other types of firearms besides shotguns, it would require more courage or a stronger background. As long as you can handle the consequences, it might be possible.
For example, around 2019, there was a Chinese student in his early twenties studying at the University of Warwick. Just before his graduation, for some unknown reason, he had the idea to fire an air gun (without bullets) multiple times towards the main road through his student dormitory window. The loud noise caused panic among local residents since it sounded like a real gunshot. Multiple people reported the incident, and the police arrived at the scene to secure it. After investigating, they found out that the student was using a non-functional replica gun.
In the same year, another Chinese student in his mid-twenties studying at the University of Exeter suddenly took out a black replica Beretta 92 on campus and threatened that he had 12 bullets and would shoot anyone who challenged him. This statement immediately caused panic on campus, and the police arrested him after receiving reports. He later claimed that he was just trying to play a prank on other Chinese students. After his arrest, the student deeply regretted his actions. It turned out that he had already received an acceptance letter and a scholarship for a Ph.D. program at a prestigious Canadian university. However, due to his impulsive behavior, he was immediately expelled from the University of Exeter, and the Canadian university revoked his Ph.D. offer and scholarship.
What were the consequences for these two students? Besides being expelled from their respective universities, they usually face imprisonment, followed by deportation. Their cases are often publicized in the news as a warning to others.
Now, if you want to obtain a license, you need to apply for firearms licensing. Firstly, you will need to fill out the GP form for medical information (firearms licensing-medical information proforma), and then submit your application for review. If you need, I can write a guide or something similar, but the process is relatively straightforward. You can search online to find the information. It seems unnecessary to repeat it here. Also, there are certain words or phrases that need to be changed or rephrased on these platforms, which can be a bit troublesome.
