Internet retailer Amazon is reported to have been found selling a large number of illegal and dangerous weapons to British customs sites.

It is reported that in the test purchase, the paper was able to purchase Kimber Pepper Blaster II, a gun that shoots a powerful Pepper spray at high speed, a Gotcha Cap, a hat that hides a fool
The air gun under the hat edge, along with a Zap light, a stun gun that looks like a normal torch, under laws such as the Firearms Act 1968 and the Assault Weapons Act 1996, all of this is illegal.
The weapons were sold after Amazon was informed of their presence on the site.
Stun guns and hats were purchased through Amazon from independent traders in the US and Israel, but it is reported that the pepper spray gun was sold directly by the company and sent out from the UKWarehouse based.
A spokesman for the Interior Ministry told the newspaper in a statement that anyone found in the UK with prohibited weapons may face charges of illegally importing prohibited weapons and may be sentenced to imprisonment
