In safe, civilized gun-free Britain, they go to jail; there was a shopowner in Liverpool three or four years ago who got fed up with being robbed at gunpoint by crooks with illegal handguns so he spent $60 on an illegal handgun of his own and the next time an armed robber turned up the shopowner shot him dead. Rather than praising him for helping to reduce the crime rate, the cops charged him with numerous serious crimes and he went to jail for years.

Such a civilized country now they've banned guns, ain't it?
