UK: Retired widow could face 5 years of prison after man broke into her house...

[schneiderguy]

...and stole an antique revolver that had belonged to her late husband.

I'm glad the UK is keeping guns out of the hands of criminals with their tough gun laws! :thumbsup:

Yeah, send a message to all other old retired widows.

Good. that's what you get for being a criminal.

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

Good. that's what you get for being a moron and owning an illegal firearm.

Well O'Brien now you know why people don't like you.

 

[HAL9000]

Well O'Brien now you know why people don't like you.

Because I support the arrest of criminals?

Also... who's O'Brien.

 

[OCGuy]

Yea UK is pretty fucked up all around. I will celebrate this weekend with enthusiasm.

Oh, google that one. He was a hero who helped his government arrest criminals. Very much your kind of fellow. BTW, it wasn't her firearm. It was her dead husbands and apparently forgot about it. I suggest giving his corpse the sentence.

OK, Will do later.

So the will didn't leave the husbands property to her? Let her off then.

this comment is another reason why you should be banned.

Did you even read the article before making this stupid comment??

Someone STOLE the gun from her... and when he got caught, he told them, well she had the gun.. she should go to jail too.

THANKFULLY not everyone is as stupid as you are.

Grandmother Gail Cochrane (54) of Morgan Street, Dundee, had her five-year jail term for keeping a World War Two heirloom gun, that had belonged to her late Royal Navy veteran father, overturned by appeal judges in a split decision. They ruled it would be "arbitrary and disproportionate" taking into account her personal circumstances and gave her 240 hours community service.​

240 hours of community service is still stupid... but better than 5 years jail.

What's the penalty for trolling? Whatever it is, you should get it.

i hope your grandma ends up doing hard time in whatever prison they have there, because you have a shotgun.

I disagree.

i hope your grandma ends up doing hard time in whatever prison they have there, because you have a shotgun.

She wont, I don't own any illegal weapons, and If I die then my licence to own a shotgun wont get handed onto my grandparents giving them the right to own my gun.

LOL, you read the article now, but not before making your stupid remarks about her.

 

[nobodyknows]

I disagree.

I double disagree.

 

[HAL9000]

No, I said I read the article. Past tense. I read it before making my statement.

 

[guyver01]

She wont

she lives in england... chances are she'll do something that pisses someone off (like... giving birth to whatever birthed you) and end up in jail for it.
