Illegal toy guns

***********
Certainly the gun control culture has taken over the UK. It is illegal to even own toy guns. And it is basically illegal to defend your own life with a weapon even if the weapon is not a gun. When Eric Butler was being strangled and attacked by two men he used an ornamental sword to defend himself. He was tried and convicted for carrying an offensive weapon. When a toy gun was used to fool two burglars and hold them at bay until the police arrived the police arrested the homeowner for intimidating the burglars. And in another case an elderly man living alone had his home broken into repeatedly. And in his area there were no regular police. During one break in he shot the two men robbing him. He went to prison for life and the government gave one of the attackers legal assistance to help him sue the victim.

Hi Brearridge,

It is all a bit mad over here. If a house burglary involved less than about $2000 the police are not really interested. If you report that you have been burgled the most you are likely to get is a copper around the next day with a form for your insurers.

Mind you if your stair carpet is a bit loose and the burglar trips up and hurts his poor little self then he may sue you... and yes he will probably get legal aid (financial support from the state) while you would have to pay your own legal costs!

Things are not too different here either.

I have heard of a convicted rapist here in Queensland sueing the victim of the crime!
