It's Legally Held Firearms That Are The Problem

It’s happening all the time however it’s only the big seizures that make the news and then it’s never mentioned on the BBC as it doesn’t suit their narrative

While I was passing the time with a Dover Harbour Board police Sergeant who was checking the 110 serial numbers of the firearms that I was legally transporting out of the UK he mentioned that an Arabian reg car was pulled over for a random check by customs officers upon entering the UK and the driver pulled out a gun.
Some Harbour Board police were just walking by on a shift change saw it and rather "manhandled the perp" before his arrest happened.

Generally the Beeb only reports on cases where a suspect is tried or there's a verdict. It posts a link to the local press instead.
It's not the first seizure at Dover, so there's a mention of it here - which is about an earlier conviction.
Jail for gun smuggler stopped at Dover with car full of pistols

I always remember in the 1970s and 1980s there'd be the usual police spokesman on BBC or ITV Midlands who when asked how such and such obtained a pistol or revolver used in muder that the police had failed to prevent replied that the perpetrator had "likely stolen it from a gun club". Yet never would say from which "gun club" it had been stolen from. Because that it hadn't at all been gained by such means proved as a lie the narrative of deflection from the fact that the police had failed to prevent an illegally obtained and so illegally possessed pistol or revolver from being then used in commission of crime.
