The British are officially insane...

in CO you can shoot them if they have broken into your house, are an immediate threat to someone's life, or if they are committing arson. Only arson, no other personal property crime. No backshooting, either. yell at em and make em turn around first.

Great Britain confiscated tons and tons of shotguns and other items from its subjects and destroyed them. Heirloom-quality stuff, too, not the kind you would rob a liquor store with. Sorry to see that it didn't solve the crime problem. Too bad, as well, that all the law-abiding British gun owners were essentially robbed by their government in the name of useless posturing for the anti-gun crowd.

And now, knives. If any of you guys need your steak cut, send it over and I'll do it for you. At least until beef consumption is banned. And if you all get sick of being oppressed by your government, we've cleared a substantial swath of land for you in the middle east. Ripe for colonization by disaffected Brits. Worked for us 300 years ago, you might try it.
