Didn’t work the same way it does in the movies?

HA!

Soon as I read “shot in the chest” I knew he weren’t no proper American!

Americans know, instinctively, that the muzzle is to be aimed at the face when going for the accidental discharge by slam fire.

Another death by firearm for the gun control freaks, eh?

That's a BALD-FACED LIE! The shotgun killed him in cold blood. He was simply an innocent victim!

Double barrelled shotguns are legal and actually pretty easy to get hold of.

Do you live in the U.K.? Do you know this for a fact?

Regards,

Yes, I’m also a member of a rifle club, so I have some understanding of UK gun laws. Shotgun licences are very easy to get hold of, and when applying for a licence, there is a burden of proof on the police to justify a refusal, such as showing that someone has a criminal record or is mentally unstable. Shotguns are an essential tool of farmers so it would be very easy for them to sue the police for denying ghem to be able to get one without a very good reason. They are probably about as easy to get as a handgun is in the US, which requires a background check. “Firearms” (guns other than shotguns or smoothbore weapons) are a different category, and the burden of proof lies on the person applying why they should be granted one. Usually, being a member of a home office recognised and regulated gun club and having the requisite security in place to safely store such weapons suffices.
