The Coppers........

Yes, the Coppers are looking for me.
In case, anyone starts to have some wild imaginations.

I certainly didn't break the law.
It is something I ordered in the Net.
It looked like a pistol
(It is but it's not real. It's a rubber dart gun)and I have to prove it isn't to the coppers.

I know it sounds bizarre.
Seems that our local law have a strange way of defining firearms.

The obvious ones like GLOCKs, SIGs, S&W or H&K with their 9mm or Three Fifty Seven.
For that, I am not arguing in the name of public safety and Law & Order.

It becomes ridiculous when a BB gun which ostensibly is not a firearm is classfied as a firearm or arms.
(It doesn't fire bullets for you guys out there who don't know about it.)

Why do I get the feeling that Politicians who are science iliterate play a part in this ruling.......
This is what happen when you get Politicians who are economics or statistics braincases. They don't know what is science except how to pass them in exams and look good in dandy boy costumes.
Kissing babies and handing over of awards don't count in my book when he is utterly clueless about Science and Common sense.
(For crying out loud, this is the age of infomation & science!)

Even Toys weapons who looked like Real weapons is being examined by the cops. Specifically, the Arms & Explosive Dept.
YEAH! The Cops who handles the *Bang!* stuff also scrutinises toys and swords to sure it is safe for playing and such.
Ok, I won't argue about the super sharp swords that can dice a man into bacon.
Or the Real .44 Magnum that take your heads off.

Somehow I get feeling that the Cops just want a paper trail that lead back to Who and Who import this.

Going into the Cop house is getting into a habit for me.
It is strange when you haven't been flouting the law and some dumb civil servant thinks what you ordered in the Net is the Real McCoy.

OMFG, Can someone tell people these days not to be so ignorant?
It doesn't pay being DUMB or have your head in the sand!!!
