Where have we heard that name Walter Mitty here before? Ah yes, that's it - I wonder what Sasguru is up to these days

He always bragged how good live in Wandsworth is, turns out that Wandsworth prison is the largest in the UK, currently able to hold 1877 prisoners or 1874 if MF is included...

The guy is clearly a loon who should be locked up, but isn't this entrapment? I can't help but feel a little uneasy about the police laying traps for people like this. Their job is to catch criminals, not to create them in the first place.

Rubbish! If they approached someone in the street and asked if they wanted to buy a gun then fine.

This guy was determined to get a gun. Luckily the police got there first.

In a few years he'll leave some bad review on that seller and nobody will ever buy guns again from them, way to ruin your reputation ...

It's better that they catch wanna be illegal gun owner rather than catching a murderer.
