He's perfectly fit to possess and use a firearm, as long as he works for England far away in another country

British Army soldier Corporal Craig Harrison is now the owner of the record for the longest recorded successful sniper shot.  He took out two Taliban machine-gunners from a GPS-measured distance of 8,120 feet, or more than a mile and a half.

What an outstanding display of skill as well as steel nerves, since the hero fired the rounds while supporting fellow soldiers who were then under fire from those Afghans.

It's a true pity that once Corporal Harrison returns to civilian life in England he'll be forbidden to have so much as a single-shot .22 rifle in his home for hunting, sport or even self-protection (the most basic of human rights), as the Nanny-state dictators who currently run that country have decreed that their law-abiding peasants may no longer possess firearms in their homes or in public, no matter the reason.

This means, of course, that the criminals over there, who naturally don't give a fig about any laws, are the only ones who have guns and are free to use them on the disarmed peasantry without fear of any personal danger to themselves.

Can anyone else appreciate the insane hypocrisy present here?
