Gun control gone mad in Crazytown (Britain)

Ex-soldier faces jail for handing in gun

Cliff notes.

Facts undisputed by anyone, judge, prosecutor, jury.

1. Completly innocent citizen finds shotgun dumped in backyard.

2. Citizen brings gun to police station, thinking they might want it.

3. Citizen arrested for possesing said firearm.

Sentancing tommorow, he's looking at five years.

Prosecuting, Brian Stalk, explained to the jury that possession of a firearm was a "strict liability" charge – therefore Mr Clarke's allegedly honest intent was irrelevant.

Just by having the gun in his possession he was guilty of the charge, and has no defence in law against it, he added.

Judge Christopher Critchlow said: "This is an unusual case, but in law there is no dispute that Mr Clarke has no defence to this charge.

"The intention of anybody possessing a firearm is irrelevant."

Obama's vision of an American Utopia, first comes health care, then gun control, then who knows where the hell we will be.

scroll down to WW II ....


Send Guns

The full-page ad has a lesson that is clear: Men and women without firearms are defenseless subjects of their government, and at the mercy of any armed opponent. Men and women with firearms are not subjects, but citizens. Citizens who can stand proudly and ably against any foe, foreign or domestic.

By the way, Americans did respond, with thousands of firearms and binoculars, freely and without hope of the return of their goods. We were, and thank heavens, still are the “arsenal of democracy.” And let it ever be so. The postscript to the story is that exactly none of these freely-sent arms were ever returned to their rightful owners. Most were melted as scrap after the war by a British Government that was too blind to see the object lesson.

Another case of zero-tolerance = zero sense.

As much as I disagree with the U.K.'s tight gun control in a case like this can't some common sense be used? Obviously no!
