I saw a crime documentary on Discovery. The subject crime was a murder in England committed with a .22 caliber firearm. The police bragged that they seized every .22 caliber firearm in the crime area and tested almost every one for ballistic indicators. Over ten thousand of them! Owned by law-abiding Brits. Confiscated by the government!

Ten years later the husband of the victim is sitting in a pub drinking a brew when this cat comes up and starts up a conversation. "Oh, by the way," he says, "I was called in on your wife's murder." "A lot of people were," the husband says. "That's all in the past now."

Well, some weeks after that the cat shows up in the newspaper for committing a kidnapping with a firearm. The police decide to reopen the murder case. Three of the firearms this cat owned were confiscated during the investigation but only two were fired for ballistics. The third was unfireable owing to rust and corrosion.

The cops find that the magazine of the pistol was not corroded, so they sent it to the FBI, who used it in an operable firearm. The magazine produced the same defects found on shell casings found at the murder scene.

So the cops finally had their man.

They didn't mention that they had violated the rights of 10,000 citizens by confiscating their property.

Thank God for the Second Amendment!
