Couple discover 7,500 machine gun, shotgun & pistol bullets in their back yard

Wow, what would have happened if there had been actual gun in that pond?

I guess then the cat would have shot everyone, since they apparently assume the worst about the cat.

I read the article, I wept.

For a nation of people who kept the Nazi's at bay, while enduring severe hardships, including the bombing of their cities, they have largely become a nation of, well, a nation of... (pick your word to insert here).

And most of the rounds look to be lead semi-wadcutter, so not exactly your Black Talon exploding rounds of death.

Not necessarily a bad assumption.  The way the cat looks at me sometimes, I am happy that I am further up the food chain than her.  And I can use tools.

Gutted weenies?

I used to have relatives that live in (f)GB.  I disowned them all after reading that.  I don't care that they may not actually share the viewpoint of those two       t%$#*waffles and 99.99% of the rest of the country - if the former relatives were worth being related to they would be going around with a ditching spade http://www.amazon.co.uk/Spear-Jackson-Grafting-Fibreglass-Shovel/dp/B0044TPTBS/ref=sr_1_38?s=outdoors&ie=UTF8&qid=1372707238&sr=1-38 banging people up side their heads for that and similar lack-of-thought.

stay safe.

I believe they sell them in TESCO, next to the Spotted Dick.

stay safe.

Seriously, Al Queida could bring the entire UK to it's knees with a single Fed/Rem/CCI 550 bulk carton. 

Or they could fund their operations for a year selling that same ammo in the US.

It wouldn't be that surprising for two people to be hopeless bliss ninnies. When the government and media seem to share their point of view - 

[Regolith]

Gutted weenies?

Literally. WWII did a pretty good number on their population - which had probably not fully recovered from WWI - and killed a LARGE number of men of military age, the population that was most likely to resist this claptrap and teach that resistance to their offspring.

Headline says 7,500, story indicates 2,300 or so. I'd guess that they were disposed when complete BS gun laws took hold and the former owner dumped them rather than turn them in and be charged or some such. I hope the owner is dead because I'm sure they will find them if not.

I wish I could show that brave british couple my closet. Brains asplodey.

A far as I could tell, I thought they were all empties.

Maybe someone dumped them in the ponds to control algae?

I am disappointed in the attitude of fear so many of Great Britain's subjects have to anything related to firearms.  I wonder if that's happening in Australia as well.

Do you suppose that's the difference between subjects and citizens?

I'm not sure why people are saying this. In the pictures I've seen, there are at least quite a few loaded .22 LRs. No empty casings that I've seen.

According to the story: 2200 were found in first pond and 5600 were found in the second pond.

I think he's right to be concerned that his cat might get hold of the ammo.  If a single cat had a few thousand live rounds, I think it could take over the whole country.

Does anyone have the gif with the cat blasting away with his AK?
