FD, I'd be interested in any links to the case you have. I just posted from a clearly pro-gun site. Everything I heard from friends still living in the U.K. made it sound like a state scapegoating of a gun owner for the further cowing of any remaining gun ownership.

I gave a link. Sorry but the minute I read your post from that site I knew there was more to the story. He guy had lost his right to own a gun because he had shot at other unarmed people before this happened. He claimed to be up satairs when he shot the intruders and evidence showed he shot them from down stairs. I think if he beat them with a bat he could have also faced the same type of charges from reading more on what happened.
