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".

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
