In Ross but interested

Controversial, I know, but whereas you could probably understand taking a pistol as a trophy, why the 177 rounds of ammunition? I know it's great to show support for our armed services, especially our city's regiment, but let's be realistic about it. He had an unregistered 9mm pistol and 177 rounds of ammunition located in his house in a place that was obviously insecure! If that had been anyone else in this city, this topic would definitely have had a very different slant? I spent just short of 10 years in the army so I'm not just some tree hugger who's trying to stir things up. He broke the law, in a very serious way, and should not be treated any differently as a result in my opinion. Before jumping on a band wagon, please consider the potential consequences of his possessing this deadly weapon illegally. Just my thoughts on this.
