You are a host, can you give us the courtesy of following the SOP?

The guns and grenades of gangland Britain
Down the years the 57-year-old made numerous trips to Germany, buying replica pistols for £40 a time before
smuggling them into the UK. On an anonymous industrial estate on the outskirts of Manchester the weapons were re-bored so that they were capable of firing live ammunition. On the street the guns fetched £700 each and he and his accomplices supplied almost 300.
