The Home Office has released two new leaflets setting out their position on antique firearms – and it’s clear they want antiques dealers to implement a register of transactions even though it’s not required by law...
“A person in possession of a firearm which he claims is an antique should also be able to demonstrate that it is possessed as a curiosity or an ornament,” says the guide...
Ouch ... Bad news ...
Reminds me painfully when I had to prove a Kriegsmarine sword was made prior 1945 to one of the retarded from the Customs/Border people who was obviously borrowing the team's single issued neurone ...
Good luck !!
Well I quite agree with them!
We don't want anyone "rampaging" through a packed city centre on a "killing spree" with an assault "weapon" of "military calibre", "mowing people down "at a rate of 2 a minute. More if he fits a bayonet to the Brown Bess.
God bless these people for keeping us safe is what I say!! I wonder the SNP haven't imposed it already north of the wall.
Gods!!! they might have already but we didn't get to hear about it cos it was only published in Gaelic speaking publications , which would mean that a life long dream of mine came true last week. The one about me being an international gun runner (we prefer arms dealer) I bought a Mk 4 M-H and crossed international borders with it, we call it doing the DD run (Durham to Dundee), the people of Jedburgh never knew that an international man of mystery was driving through their streets with a WMD in the boot, and even stopped for chips there , all the while this thing was in their midst with only a gun sock to keep it under control.
Of course I didn't get it from a dealer so that would have fallen at the first hurdle...I got it from this bloke with a beard and no tash, he was wearing a long shirt and flip flops and said he was putting the money to an RPG (whatever one of them is) he had a Scottish name MacHamed or something, didn't quite catch it.

I don't think you're taking this important piece of legislation seriously, are you?
