Thema: Re: If I'm a prosecutor and a victim shoots someone threatening his property and family but uses an unregistered gun, I'm going to say that I understand why he fought back but to please register his gun now.
Artful Dodger: In the UK he'd probably get off, if it can be proven he had due cause with the killing. Such is the law here. The gun will be confiscated though... or at the very least rendered unusable.
I can by law protect my property and family here. By the nature of little gun crime. I don't need a gun.
I'm also aware of some stats over how killing people affects people. About 90%+ are affected by it and can lead to trauma. A small percentage are those who are not affected mentally. Then there is the small percentage who enjoy killing... they generally end up in the army, dead or in jail.
