That's what I thought, weld a brake on and put a fixed stock and all was well. Plus didn't some get imported like that post 1988?[/quote]

Not welding. ...takes it out if proof....brazing is the way to add more metal to a barrel[/quote]

Run me through what brazing is?

anyone who thinks they are stopping with airguns is deluded ! now scotland has full firearms control (like the NI parliment ) and they s*** state parliment is also getting more powers! first they will put a limit on how many firearms one can own, later on restriction on hunting etc since the left wing snp thinks all that is outdated, then target shooting will no longer be a good reason in scotland ! wheather they can offord a ban i dont know however i cant see semi auto, pump shotguns lasting long either ! move south of the border would be my suggestion ! then again i should take my own advice and move to NI

They haven't got full control yet, they might still get embarassed and trip up. Plus something tells me it will be a hard slog getting that off the Home Office. Scotland's problem is a schizophrenic political class and voting class that will only end in tears, you don't see this in England and even to a large extent in Wales. NI is in a league of its own sadly. With legislation like a named person for young people (who don't even have to tell that young person's parents if they get pregnant or something similar) its a road not paved with good intentions going to hell but one paved with stupidity and bloody mindedness disguised as reason. So its sadly part of a wider package of Insanity Joe.

No they only got airguns and the circumstances seemed to be to just shut them up. It depends how long Scots can tolerate a Marxist lite dystopia with some alleged free goodies (there is no such thing as a free lunch and even in Scotland a downside to spending how they do is less nurses and I heard cervical cancer screening in Scotland actually stops being done earlier than in England so not all cracked up to be).

Option 2 which is the forever option is Scots who want something else and maybe have get up and go is leave, strangely some of the same people who in Scotland would vote SNP or labour end up occasionally voting conservative or others when living in England or Elsewhere. The forever option is self-defeating and means the likes of Dromia are left to clean up the mess left by people who's politics hasn't advanced beyond Student union level.

I am not sure what you mean by that. As for firearms their is no push from northern politicians for further gun control, In fact it was NI politicians that insured that the hand gun ban did not apply here. As for Air rifles are already FAC only here and have being as long as I can remember.

Probably the best source explaining the named person's and why its not so good an idea and whats going on.

I know that about NI and how they avoided the handgun ban. But it still doesn't make airgun licensing in scotland any less worse an idea.
