Insanity! Does anyone believe that an 85 year old man is going to go on a killing spree with an air rifle?

[Dr. Sivana]

Oh, yeah?! Well, why else would he have THREE entire rounds of ammo?! That’s triple what the Deputy Sheriff of Mayberry, NC gets!

[davetex]

The horror!! He had TWO rounds of .22 cal.

Unreal.

[umgud]

They need to get this dangerous bastard off the streets. /s

[SIDENET]

177 self-contained gas cartridge air pistol

Hey, he could put out an eye with that thing.

[Riodacat]

Holy crap.
That's effing ridiculous!!!!
Based on his age, I'm betting that the old bugger was in uniform during WW2 to keep those arresting him from having to speak German...

[PubliusMM]

I’m afraid the Brits have fallen to the progressives and socialists. This confirms it.
The man is 85 years old, fer cryin’ out loud... And, with all that armament he was in no danger of fomenting a revolution.
The Brits have gone positively lunatic.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Any government that treats petty malum prohibitum crimes more harshly than it treats grievous malum in se crimes deserves to die an ignominious death.

And sooner, rather than later.

[Chode]

Ungland...

[jmacusa]

At 85 this poor old gent is no doubt a WW2 veteran. So this is what he gets. Saves the Empire just to have himself facing jail. England sucks.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

A possible killing spree is not the issue the 85 year old relatively innocent man will be punished to provide an example to others. The technical philosophical term is “telishment” if I remember correctly. Such punishments are necessary to a tyranny. Keeps the little lambs quiet for the fleecings.

[CrazyIvan]

“The 85-year-old further admitted possessing a Victor .22 calibre rifle, two .22 calibre rounds of ammunition, as well as a hollow-point bullet without permission”

This would be like being charged with drug possesion for
having a half bottle of baby asprin.

[Random Access]

Good thing he wasn’t living in our nations capitol.

[dog breath]

They are so tough in Britain they can apparently be expected to defend themselves with only a teacup.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

"Two .22 calibre rounds of ammunition, as well as a hollow-point bullet without permission"?

OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!

This is what happens when idiots are allowed to vote and hold office! They would love Bloomberg over there.

[Freedom4US]

Of course not. But, he must be made an example of, in order to condition and train the populace that they will be smacked down hard for any Offense Against The State. “Liberals” LOVE this kind of thing. They don’t hate guns, they hate YOU.

[ConradofMontferrat]

Judge David Turner, if he does anything other than toss this case, needs to be dragged into the street, stripped to his shorts, tarred and feathered, and ridden out of town on a rail.

Oh Wait! This is the ONCE PROUD BRITISH EMPIRE, WHERE ONCE BRITANNIA RULED THE WORLD AND NOW IDIOTS PREVAIL! So I expect Judge David Turner to teach this old knuckle dragger a right fitting lesson!

Mr. Percy Hermitage, veteran WWII, (all Brits alive at the time were veterans, even the civilians who stood firm against the daily bombings) when BRITS HAD BALLS, I am sorry for your plight.

But don’t you know, those damn air rifles of yours could start a crime wave!

OH WAIT! The muzzies already have your crime wave RIGHT EFFIN HERE! (grabbin crotch NJ style) With REAL effin guns! But we won’t be bigoted, prejudiced, extremists and point that inconvenient little fact out! /s>

Mr. Percy Hermitage, God bless you. You are so polite, so proper, you ratted your own self out.

A true, proper English gentleman.

(I hated writing this post.)

[elkfersupper]

2 rounds of .22, obviously a killer or terrorist.

[6SJ7]

England is now an embarasement. I’m so glad I can claim half my ancestry, the good half, from Poland.

[RetiredTexasVet]

Obviously, socialism is a mental/physical disorder similar to mental/physical disorder of Progressives/Democrats caused by fecal backup impairing brain functions, commonly know as “sh!t for brains”.

[Trailerpark Badass]

Two whole rounds of .22lr? One of them had, gasp!, a hollow-point bullet!

And he faces 5 years?

What a flippin joke.
