Ok - lets take this case. You are the sentencing judge:

A man uses CS gas to attack guests in a hotel neighbouring his house, he is arrested and a subsequent search of his home unearths four more canisters of CS gas, as well as two unlicenced pistols.

Bear in mind, in the UK, there is a mandatory minimum of 5 years inside just for possession of one illegal firearm.

Other factors you may want to consider in sentencing are that he has a number of "minor convictions for low level violence or disorder" on his record between 1991 and 2000.

How long do you think he got for possession of these illegal weapons, as well as the assault on two women and one man? And before looking, can you guess why the sentencing was exceptionally light?

And the verdict is...
