WTF?

Seriously, what the FUCK? I'm not explaining what's in the link, words simply fail me. Just trust me when I tell you that you'll react by either 1. agreeing with the WTF or 2. citing Discworld.

I couldn't believe it, either... I read about that in my daily NRA-ILA email newsletter. (The NRA takes a very dim view of this kind of thing.)

National Rifle Association?

Right... they have an image, obviously, of being very strongly pro-gun (and they are), but when it comes to crime committed with firearms, as far as they're concerned, "all bets are off". They favor coming down on armed criminals quite hard, and something like this really gets them riled.

Actually, I was just wondering why they care what they do in Holland, which is international. I'm not strongly pro-gun, at all, and don't want to debate that (you'll notice I don't mention it in my journal ever), so I'll just wander off now.

They do keep an eye on gun-related matters around the world, so the Dutch ruling would definitely be of interest to them.
