Police power

Did you hear about the ex-solider who found a sawn-off shotgun in his garden, handed it in to the police, and now faces a minimum five years in prison for possession of a firearm?

Could be worse. He could have been in Scotland where, having nothing better to do, they're putting air pistols in the same category.

We can't have Outer Party members being contaminated by things that threaten the power of the Party are not good for them, can we?

Update: At least the United States doesn't have this problem–provided you're a Chicago politician who thinks that gun control is for "little people".
