Shoot, I've bought 1000+ rounds of some calibers at a time before.

When it's cheap stack it deep!

Too bad lots of the cheap surplus is drying up.

When i was growing up, we used to reload rather large batches so having a couple thousand rounds at the house, particularly 9mm .45 or .223 was not unusual. Not to mention buckets of brass and then all the powder, primers and bullets.

Not survivalists, or "preppers" or anything like that, hand loading then shooting was a hobby that I started learning as a small child.

Does the UK have their own version of the US "Alford Plea"?

None that I am aware of

That's just so

I'm glad I'm not a lawyer.

But don't tell my clients.

Retrial done. Guilty again

He certainly changes his story a lot.

Must have cost his family a few bob paying the legal fees.

Prime example for our British cousins as to why we fight tooth and nail for our right to bear arms here in the states.

You consider a brain damaged person to be a prime example for unrestricted access to firearms
Even without his medical problems do you really think a case of smuggled weapons and stolen ammunition can in any way give a positive argument for what you want?

He should have listened to his lawyer and stuck with the plea deal on the 18months, his mate only got two years and that was for a far more serious offence.
The police and the army were going real light on them both considering what they could have been facing.

I believe Wolferz meant that we are fighting to keep our rights to own firearms so we don't have to resort to smuggling them.

But I understand your point, a soldier caught with a firearm, my God....what kind of army are you running over there? Only well trained responsible people should be allowed to handle firearms.

And he would have a point if the only way these people could own firearms was by smuggling.

Nice try.
I suppose they are running the sort of army over there which does not like thieves.
