Good to see our stupid gun laws in the UK that took guns from the lawful and heavy mandatory sentences for illegal gun possession are working then :clap: :police: :^o

It is so annoying. Do I feel safer in this country now that you as a previously vetted legal FAC holder, clubmember, trained in safety and use, had secure storage of weapon and ammo have no longer got legal ownership of a handgun? I think not.
Evilgoat:
The argument ran thus.
With guns Licenced :
The police know where they are, know taht certain precautions have probobly been taken to secure them.
With the lower power, legal guns around, importing illegal guns isnt worth the hassle or effort.
At least some time was spent making sure that the owner wasnt a fruitcake (Guy at Dunblane had no Licence iirc)
So Now
The Police dont have a clue where they are
They are all illegal so you might as well get the biggest gunbs you can, there goes restricted mag size eith. Things like H&K Sub machine guns are starting to turn up and worse.
Anyone who knows the right person can get a cun, ther eis no traceability at all because well, you are a law abiding person and shouldnt have one so no need to trace them.
Made the switch to .22 for target shooting and got bored, dumped the lot. AND it was the only competitive sport we were actually good at.
Lee_D:
But clearly if there were more handguns then there would be more handgun crime?
Everyone knows that people who have guns are unstable... why else have a gun :lol:
I've had guns and had been clay pigeon shooting since 10 and I'm very unstable :rolleyes:
