Recession seems to have hit the crime world too, as rival crime gangs in Britain are being forced to share guns.
Police chiefs have pointed out that people in the “middle market,” between users and suppliers, have been renting out specific weapons to separate shootings all over the country.
The National Ballistics Intelligence Service also took note of the pics, of boasting criminals with their guns, posted on networking sites like Bebo and Facebook.
“We see the same guns being used over and over again. Scarcity is such that they are exploiting that weapon, to lease and rent those firearms out,” the Daily Star quoted Det Chief Supt Paul James as saying.
He added: “The same gun can be used by people on both sides of the equation. One gun on an estate can be used by people you would not expect to be allies.”
In the past decade, there has been an almost a double rise in firearm offences amounting to 9,865 cases.

Gangsters forced to rent guns as recession bites
Jeff Cooper advocated four basic rules of gun safety:
1) All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
2) Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
3) Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target.
4) Identify your target, and what is behind it.
