Hope you're not holding your breath. :)

what did anyone expect from the BBC?
They would do better buying a rubber martial arts training gun and try to smuggle it back into the UK to show how easy it is. use a light sensor to indicate if it has been discovered and pop it under a lorry drivers seat.
Having been approached by a eastern european lorry driver and asked if i want to buy a gun (was in conversation with a friend who was working on the door of a pub at the time) we were both suprised at this question, in broad daylight in a sussex town.
