If it has more than 3 Corsas in the trailer it's already illegal...

Try loaded up with Landrover 4x4's. Gives it more oomph.

Essentially there are more than one way to skin a cat or a mouse maybe ?

Popular food in China I hear. Though that doesn't surprise me.

Do you have sources for those two - very useful indeed to make the comparison.

I've started drafting up a response. Suspect mine will end up about 20 pages long.

Cricket ball info came from - The Human Machine - R.McNeill Alexander

And I'm a little bit ashamed to say the hammer info was Yahoo Answers, especially as its a club hammer and not a claw hammer

The maths is sound and I believe the principle remains?

One thing I am noticing as I draft my response is that whilst a lot of the suggstions seem innocuous and even sensible they are a touch leading and, without qualifying your answers to highlight the difference between criminal misuse and legitimate possession and enjoyment, then I could easily see the HO or others quoting our answers back to us as justification for turning us all into air gunners.

I had a read through this last night and even their proposals to address the complexity in British firearm law are complicated. The section on components was interesting and certainly has wider implications for the "section 5 part bin rifles", i.e. straight pull market. As a general comment it does seem angled at the non licensed firearm holders, but I have no doubt it will add further restrictions for legal firearms holders as well.

Having skimmed over other sections but not read them all in depth, it was hard to find fault with their recommendations, although I'm sure more experienced members will. In principal it looked OK to me, but the proof is in the pudding I guess and by that time it might be too late. Was there anything specific in the document that looked like it was targeting LBR/LBP LR/MARS actions? My main concern would be S1 shotguns...
