We should start a petition for a "shop a sh!t copper/politician/journalist" hotline too.
Are they going to use the cost of this to justify increasing our fees?

This also worked well for the Nazis, 1st stop; gun owners, last stop; the world!

Time for Andrew Mercer and the NRA to deal with another threat to our sport.

Oh, how silly of me! What am I thinking?

How are we going to see civilian shooting flourish when we have the NRA (a cesspit of inadequacy) as a governing body?

When do they ever represent our interests?

Although, they're very good at justifying their own existence.

To be fair, BASC didn't appear to know about this when I e-mailed them about it.

BASC do know. Via Twitter, we inform the various bodies (and the rest of the world) immediately when things like this come to light.

Email? We've moved on a little from the 90s...

Oh grow up!

For your info Andrew and Iain were in a meeting all afternoon and Iain didn't know about this until he got home tonight.

Are you an actual member of the "cesspit of inadequacy"? If not then do us all a favour and shut up. If you are then complain through the proper channels or better still come up with some more constructive comments.

From what we have seen, at first paw, things are changing at the NRA and for the better. Why not try supporting them ?

I first learned about this at around 11:00 this morning as I monitor 'real-time' news about our sport. I wish others would do the same; we might get somewhere.

And some people are so busy they work 12 hour days and have to work on their days off but if you are expecting Iain to monitor Facebook, Twitter and all news networks as well then can you invent cloning.

Oh and he had a 10 minute lunchbreak - would you like him to give that up too?

Why not just EMAIL him when something like this pops up?

Good for you that you're able to do so - I was finishing an essay at that time.

BTW your comment about me e-mailing BASC - "We've moved on a little from the 90s..." The first four letters of twitter sums it up for me. It shouldn't matter how out representatives are informed - just that are.
