It looks like the Brit's may have learned a lesson.
People have been talking about banning guns for a while. In the UK they did an all out gun ban. Well it looks like the people there have decided they have had enough.
I like how at the 3:50 mark the Bobbie (Police officer) talks about how the gun ban has actually increased the amount of crimes where a firearm has used.
And the case of Tony Martin sounds earily familiar. Could it be because it's like an incident that happened here locally, in Stillman Valley last April. In America he gentleman defending himself wasn't charged with a crime... because it's not illegal... yet.

That said, there are/were a great number of legal gun clubs. Target shooters causing no harm to anyone. Licensed, responsible, law abiding citizens.
The hand gun law took away their sport.
It doesn't matter how many gun laws are passed, criminals will always get their hands on firearms.
The guy who was sent to jail lived in an isolated house. He had, as far as I am concerned, EVERY right to defend himself and his property.
The Law is an ASS!!!!
