How Can We Frighten People Today?

I have posted before on the woeful ignorance of The Daily Mail when it comes to firearms including both here and here.

But when it comes to frightening the public and reinforcing the PTB insistence on a disarmed public, even a group they seem to tacitly support can act to whip up ‘The Fear’ of the evil guns.

Chilling pictures of 'EDL members' posted online posing with an array of deadly weapons...

Lets have a look at this array of deadly weapons (click photo’s for bigger)

That to me looks like a gas powered air rifle.

On the left : An H&K MP5 almost certainly a replica, practically impossible to get in the UK (unless a policeman leaves one on the pavement)

On the right: An MP40  WWII  vintage machine pistol, probably another replica , if not, it’s over 70 years old and not safe to fire (if you could get the ammunition)

Now these two could possibly be real, without a higher resolution picture it’s too hard to tell, odds are they are not.

On the right: an air rifle  On the left: Another air rifle.  Both perfectly legal still to own

OK that’s a gun agreed, but providing he has a firearms licence, perfectly legal to own and there is no law against posing like a prat in an unsafe manner (yet)

DM: EDL Flag posing with a gun

PC: EDL Flag posing with an air rifle

.22 Rifle Legal                            Shotgun: Also legal

Crossbow:  Legal, anyone over 18 can buy one, dicks included

SA80: Standard issue to British armed services, if you look at the back drop this is probably taken at a recruiting stand at a fete or fayre, Where they let you sit in the trucks and hold the guns, fun when you’re 10, a bit strange when older. i.e it is not HIS gun.

Are you frightened yet by all those pictures of ‘guns’?

No then let us use our ‘words’ to ram it home. 

‘chilling array of guns’ ‘array of deadly weapons.’ ‘a powerful looking rifle’  ‘with a scope mounted to the top.’ To the ‘top’ people imagine that (although quite where else you are supposed to mount a ‘scope’ I don’t know) ‘a grimacing figure ‘ ‘clutches a pair of handguns’ ‘slings two guns over his shoulders’ ‘a deadly shotgun ‘ ‘A terrifying haul of rifles ‘ (remember it’s 2 airguns and a .22, oooh terrifying).’another terrifying looking weapon is brandished’ brandished you see , not just held, brandished.

I would hate to be the writer and picture sub, they must have an attack of the vapours every time a Western comes on the telly.
