    Thanks, I appreciate that. Isn’t it an absolute piss me off that these scummy pricks do what they want with no regard for anyone else in society and then the judiciary slap them with a wet bus ticket of a sentence. It only serves to make me a cynical (and somewhat grumpy) old man.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Makes me wonder whether the judge has a customer-supplier relationship going.

    Seriously though, if toerags like the article portrays lived on the same street as the judges in this country, I am 100% certain things would be very different. Having lived next to a gang pad for a year or so, I can assure you that you grow tired of the shit that goes on very quickly.

    Many many years ago, I had mate/neighbour who was, shall we say, a little different to the rest of us.
    Through our early teens, he would get up to all sorts of criminal shit, but always walked away from court to fight another day. Always.

    Later on in life, we crossed paths again, and I asked him straight up how he never got to do jail time.
    His response was was that , as a "rent Boy" , he had all the judges by the balls, so to speak

    I can't think of any other reason other than pure incompetence as to why they are making things more difficult for the average joe in regards to firearm ownership, but there is so little punishment for illegally armed criminals.
    Exactly.

    No Rushy, you are NOT old, just cynical and grumpy. That's permitted!

    Don't be too hard on the guy in the Herald article- he may have been smacked as a child.

    To JessicaChen's point and your image - I don't want to specifically address a particular country, so I'll just ask, that anyone that's interested in governments and their approaches to populations, have a look at Russia, the USA, and the UK and see what the messaging is, around current events.

    In my view

    Russia - Putin wants to be a modern Tzar
    USA - recent failed attempt to have an Orange Tzar
    UK - currently removing a Tzar wannabe.
    _____

    Regarding the OP

    I've got access to multiple Lawyers and Judges. Often there are personal circumstances that are not publicly available that would explain the sentence - like - "he did all of this whilst the real criminal held a gun to his child's head" or similar.

    BUT

    Just on what's reported, I agree that "unlawful possession of a firearm" should be punished by - six months in stocks in the village square, with no shelter from the elements.

    But just think, now that this person has broken the law and used firearms and had illegal weapons, they wont be permited to have any registered firearms. In their possesion.

    ....... hang on my tongue is stuck in my cheek.

    we need to elect our judges and top cops just like the americans, on their past record of sentencing crims.

    Problem is that crims also get a vote. It could swing the other way, if there are enough of them voting.

    Current form, I don't think you have anything to worry about on that front - at the rate we are going it will be a race to see who's last out of the prisons. The last convicted prisoner or the last prison guard...

    And that's exactly why we would go to the clanger for an indiscretion longer than the people mentioned here. It's called social engineering and is very popular with the woke crowd and their judge/politician/lawyer/academic brethren. I guess I could argue that I grew up on the wrong side of the tracks...

    Your obsession with orange man is quite disturbing, have you discussed this with your annalist?
