Continuity ACPO publishes gun ban shopping list

[Chuck]

Even Press TV had a mention about this "report"! As said, scaremongering tripe that is actually about the police failings in the system.

The report says "Police have FAILED to learn lessons" - not after the old chestnut of "lessons will be learned"!

We need criminal control, not gun control.

They are running the story on the tellybox too, just read it out on the headlines at 8am.

At the very least we're being lined up for a severe money grab come April 2016, or at worst getting the ban-it-brigade engines warmed up for an all out assault once the Law Commission report gets debated

Now whether the Inspector of Constabulory opened with the first sentence or not is a moot point but it looks like the Drip Drip Drip Drip effect is being tried again.

Quite possibly it has already been decided . More to this than the spurious claims being made.

Sky news currently is running the same story with a picture of machine guns on a table.....quite how that's relevant to the story in hand is anyone's guess.....

Just to add to my above it looks like every media outlet has picked up on this story.......I expect it will be on the vine show later!

I have the HMIC report (and press release) which kicked all this off. BBC Radio 5 Live are having a phone-in right now. Tim Bonner of the Countryside Alliance was just on.

It's a fairly naked shot at the Law Commission review. I wondered why the usual suspects on licensing had kept so quiet - and HMIC gave no indication they were going to come out with anything like this when I asked them about the terms of reference and remit months ago when this was first announced.

Continuity ACPO have played a blinder. Not only have they captured the police regulator and turned him into a mouthpiece for their position, they've captured the headlines with inflammatory talk of inevitable murders unless there's wholesale change. We're really going to struggle to fight this one.
