It could happen here: busted for handing-in gun

Can we offer him poliyical asylum? Honestly I don't know if there is a pardon process in English law, but there damn well should be. If the judge's hands are tied by the same BS "mandatory minimum", "three strikes", or "zero tolerance" crap we have here I can't blame him. But the prosecutor? What kind of crack was he on to file charges? The cops were reasonable to be suspicious (I'm not sure that covers arrest though), they didn't know if was telling the truth or not. The Judge had to sentence him, if its mandatory. Its the prosecutor and the jury I don't get. How can you be so freaking stupid and ungrateful to a vet? What the Hell happened to Britian?

I thought Marshal had installed some kind of filter to clean up dirty words on here.  Apparently he missed one.

What I learned from this:

If faced with the exact situation it would be better for me to stockpile the weapon for later use on certain uptight English jackdonkeys' that need their brain pan ventilated. Hell, the result is the same, so why not.

If you're awake this should be comment of the day. The law means that its better to either leave it on the the street for anyone's child to find or take it yourself. As Brosmetal says, your going to prison either way, might as well have a sawed off to make it expensive for them. Doing the responsible thing buys you prison. How long do expect people to repect much less obey the law in these circumstances?

Another like situation that "friend" has run into:

Say "grandpa" died and left some weapons.  As the weapons are looked through, he or she finds an old tommy gun.  It seems in working order and not much worse for the wear.  The only problem is it exceeds the federal rate of fire requirement.  What are the required steps/consequences?

 Broso, ATF DOES have a mechanism in place to deal with that, I forget the specifics but there is a way to obey the law and stay out of jail. (on the other hand, a good condition Thompson ?    )
