Another gun grabber who owns guns - and one that's illegal to boot, even in all 50 states in the US.

Mrs Eccleston said she was given the gun by a young gang member she refused to identify and kept it, while awaiting a police weapons amnesty.No doubt true. I read stories all the time of gang bangers giving up their guns and giving them to grandmothers for safe disposal.

Funny how these anti-gunners never think the laws they push for will be used on them...!

Even if she really did get the shot gun from a "gang member" she apparently felt some sort of need to hang on to it for 6 months. She's either a liar, a hypocrite or both.

She said: “It is disgusting. How do the police expect people to feel comfortable handing in guns when Heh, heh, nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition... You reap what you sow...

You can own a short barreled shotgun in the US... I've owned several... legally. They are NFA registered weapons.

"...said she was given the gun by a youth six months ago and hid it in her bedroom in a suitcase above her wardrobe."Maybe she thought the gun was like a fine whine and needed to age.

The blatant hypocrisy of gun-grabbers can be astounding, such as Carl Rowan's.
This Georgia Law Review article posted at GunCite has a small section mentioning various famous gun-grabbers acting hypocritically.

She said she told them she had the weapon and invited officers to collect it. "I have a sawed-off shotgun in my house. Come and get it!"
It sounds like she got an appropriate response...

I beileve that she's in the UK, which is notorious for banning all privately held guns, except those registered and held by authorities until you are going to use them for sporting purposes or some such nonsense.
It proves again that what you sow, so shall you reap.

The 51-year-old has been a high-profile anti-gun campaigner since her son Dean was shot and killed four years ago. Wow. Useful idiot AND hypocrite!

The mother of three said she called police at around 1.00am on Saturday to report interrupting an attempted burglary at a neighbour’s home.

It was interrupted cuz she was armed. You think a grandmother can stop a burglary any other way?
