re opening of European firearms directive

[the running man]

This I hope is addressed properly,I see basc have waded in already.....

BASC Council member Peter Glenser, a barrister practicing in this area of the law, said; “BASC supports efforts to combat illegal trafficking of firearms, but this is a complex area of the law. The danger of reopening the directive is that amendments could be moved that would be damaging to legitimate shooting sports. These can be malicious and sponsored by those who wish to damage shooting. There can also be proposals which, through ignorance, damage legitimate shooting while trying to improve the law. BASC will be vigilant and ensure that legitimate shooting in the UK is not damaged by this move.”

Meanwhile the USA continues to arm people with weapons (that are prohibited to the general public across Europe and the UK) who then in turn hand them to terrorists..with OUR governments blessing.

Doesn't seem to be any need for discussion really - just a pity that as usual the law abiding stand a chance of getting screwed...

Hopefully BASC are up to the task - once again, maybe ALL associations should pull their resources to make sure this directive does what it is meant to do and not deprive the law abiding of their rightfully owned firearms.

Feck, more firearms legislation ..... just what we all need.

We can only hope.

The British Association for Shooting and Conservation is warning that the European Union has formally opened the process of rewriting its Firearms Directive, paving the way for fresh clampdowns on the licensed firearms community.

Could just be forcing UK de-ac standards on the rest of the EU, or something worse. Not entirely clear yet.

Sorry I can't believe that......they got through various rounds accurately, and reliably, not traits of a inferior metal blank firer,or of a troublesome reactivated deact.......
