Illegal firearms in Europe: a collection

[AdamG]

AT LEAST four Calais migrants are fighting for life after being shot when two rival groups clashed in a two-hour running battle after food was handed out at the French port last night, police said. Gunshots rang out as a group of Eritreans brawled with Afghans on the northern French coast.
Four people were critically injured in the shooting, including one who was blasted in the head, with another two also suffering bullet wounds.

Well this EU-funded research tome may help, due to the size 484 pgs., I have not read it and have only skimmed the contents list.

The title says enough:

Triggering Terror:Illicit Gun Markets and Firearms Acquisition of Terrorist Networks in Europe

Link:http://www.flemishpeaceinstitute.eu/..._bw_lowres.pdf

The title implies a crossover with terrorims in Europe (which has its own thread) so this maybe double posted.

The countries covered are: Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, France, Italy, Holland. Romania, UK, North Africa and the Ukraine.
