A transgender police community support officer has been jailed for eight years and six months after attempting to manufacture a prohibited firearm using a 3D printer.
Zoe Watts, 39, of St Helen’s Avenue in Lincoln, was sentenced at Lincoln Crown Court after being found guilty in June. They denied attempting to make a weapon, claiming they was creating a “fidget” toy gun as a Christmas present, but the jury rejected their defence.
During a raid on 11 December, officers from Lincolnshire Police found knives, a crossbow and parts for a semi-automatic short-range rifle, along with a 3D printer hidden in a cupboard.
Prosecutors said the firearm design was capable of firing 33 rounds in 10 to 15 seconds and could have caused mass casualties if properly assembled. Although experts were unable to make the seized parts function, the court heard it would have been a lethal prohibited weapon if completed correctly.
Two days before the search, Watts had looked online for information about deaths linked to 3D-printed guns.
Judge Simon Hirst described Watts as polite but said they had an “obsession with weapons” and a troubling search history. He noted there was planning involved, though no evidence the weapon would have been sold.
Watts, who was previously jailed in 2021 for weapons and explosives offences, was also made subject to a deprivation order and a five-year serious crime prevention order.

Over five years since it was announced, the Type 32 frigate program has gone nowhere. Will it feature in the upcoming Defence Investment Plan or will its absence signal the end of the concept, asks @Naval_Tech @ModernNavy #RoyalNavy #DIP

We went to a dinner as a group and had a $500 bill. We tipped $40. We were happy we can be able to give our server something, but her reaction was the opposite. She told us she assumed we're going to give her at least $120. When we asked for the manager, she said she was just joking, but she wasn't smiling at all. Idk, but is $40 tip enough for $500 bill? I just feel like expecting $120 is not realistic..... 🤔🤔

Much made of Capt & XO lacking air defence knowledge & recent surface ship time. Adm Fieldhouse decides accordingly they weren’t negligent. States PWO&AAWO were, but decided against Court Matial.

@hell_line0 Pack of lies. No 3 year old in history has done this without having their mind corrupted by mentally ill parents

My nephew is trans. He started telling us at about age 3 that he was a little boy, not a little girl, and he wanted to be called "son" by his dad. No one ever suggested this to him or encouraged him to do it despite him not wanting to. We all just said "sure if that's what you want" and didn't fight him on it. He'll be 18 soon and still living as a boy. Trans kids exist. They deserve to live safely.

@thoughtland @scottishgreens This is an embarrassment the like has never been seen before
English

I hope the usual suspects don’t embarrass themselves (in vain, no doubt). We should be proud that the Scottish Parliament is capacious enough for singular people like Q to get a shot at political representation. And I’m pretty proud of @scottishgreens at the moment

@LucyAJackson_ This is nothing to be proud of. It should be made in English and only English, with the sole exception being BSL.

@MichelleRoy5506 @GatGirlie It wasn’t a woman, it was a man playing dress ups - don’t insult women with this made up bullshit
English

@GatGirlie The news..."The victim -- a 19-year-old transgender woman -- was found in a laundry room at about 10:10 p.m. Sunday, according to Seattle police."
Why do they feel the need to say it was a transgender woman? Can't it just be woman without discounting it as "transgender woman?'

@AWenham1 @NavyLookout @WarshipCam @WarshipsIFR @seawaves_mag @UKDefJournal @UKForcesTracker Surely not thickness but the depth of the dings between frames?

Ex HMS Northumberland - markings on the hull indicating hull thickness (and why the Type 23 was condemned). @NavyLookout @WarshipCam @WarshipsIFR @seawaves_mag @UKDefJournal @UKForcesTracker

@____iona____ Not one person is proud of this. It’s a source of national embarrassment

Imagine the difference it must make if you’re trans and having to live through constant debates about your own existence - to now have representation at the highest level.
Proud of our wee country 🫶🏻🏴
