I hope you won't me ringing in here on the
current thread. Being as what happened was under
your particular laws, strange as I find them, it would
appear that the man in question was no more a threat
to anyone in his community than say, anyone else with
as many firearms in their respective abodes.
Given his history - the truth of which we can
only guess at as to the validity, i.e., lots of smoke, but no
heat or fire, nothing was proven as to the assertions of
murder, and given that he has not previously been
charged in your nation with anything, then it merely rests
upon the illicit possession of arms, an item that, given the
massive hyperbole expenditures by our respective media,
the man is guilty nothing - in reality.
Here in the US, if the laws were to be enforced
as to the Constitution, then possession of any arm is no
crime, and since the advent of the 14th Amendment, the
application of all the BOR to the states, would eliminate
any laws regulating same, with the exception of local
ordinances concerning the discharges of same in a safe
and proper manner.
The same should apply as well in your nation.
I would invite everyone in your nation to step
back from this particular matter, and assess the whole
situation from the standpoints of what is supposed to be,
as to what is.
That that man was give preferential treatment
is not right. But is it proper that he keel hauled for the
acts of the police?
And, until this matter of murder is given a
thorough review, it should be totally squelched in the
media, as it serves as nothing more than to cast aspersions
upon someone merely for the excuse of finding him more
guilty than he already is - by acts under your laws.

A person suspected of murder under our gun laws is considered
"unfit" to possess firearms. It sounds to me as though he got
off on a technicality, i.e. a dubious search warrant. And in
any event, he was being investigated for a completely seperate
offence from his chainsaw background that disqualified him
anyway.
What "should" apply in our nation is of course a seperate debate,
the point being that Humberside Police granted an RFD and were
sending Christmas cards to a person who was not qualified under
our Firearms Act to possess firearms and the fact that the movie
Texas Chainsaw Massacre was based on his history just makes it
highly amusing!
