See, gun confiscation isn't all bad. This happened in England, where self-defense is banned and "self-defense" is no longer a reason to own a firearm. All handguns are banned, and any non-sporting long guns are banned, too. The old guy did great with what he had, a chair. Had he grabbed a loaded Webley & Scott side-by-side and blasted the robbers with birdshot, he would be the one being prosecuted for the more serious crime and his "victims" would be star witnesses for the Crown, offered a generous plea bargain to testify against the homeowner.
