Perhaps they were for shooting pigeons off the roof.

James Gilbert 34, of Longfield Crescent, Croydon (which used to be in Surrey, but is now a sh*thole, so it's south west London) has been jailed for 14 years for being found guilty of possession of firearms with intent to endanger life.

Tony Waller, 21, of Warminster Square, Croydon, received a sentence of 8 years and 6 months after pleading guilty to the same charge.   

Sounds like Waller cut a deal...

The cache of weapons, including a MAC-10 machine gun were buried in Waller's garden.

Perhaps not for pigeons then
