Apparently the proposal is to delete Section 57(1)(d) entirely so that will take care of flash hiders as well as moderators.

Re: Home Offices launches consultation on deregulating sound moderators
I've been saying for years that using the H&S argument to get moderators was likely to come back and bite us if we weren't careful.
Hopefully this will remove any threat.

Also done and i got my dad and younger brother (Both FAC holders) to do it.
My old FEO was insistent i put down a mod for our .22 on my first grant almost 20 years ago. I think he said there had been a court case over someone with hearing loss who had been denied one and they now needed a few more on the system.

Re: Home Offices launches consultation on deregulating sound moderators
I submitted additional comments via email regarding the possibility of using the intended legislative reform order (LRO) to also address the grey area re section 1 shotguns / LBPs and ownership by clubs.
I suggested they modify Section 15 of the 1988 Act by replacing all mentions of “rifle” or “muzzle-loading pistol” with “firearm”.
Appreciate that this is not directly relevant to the consultation but I thought it’s worth a shot and made the point that the current discrepancy is not because section 1 shotguns / LBPs are thought to be more dangerous than rifles (nowhere in the legislation is such a claim made) but instead due to a simple oversight, and that it would be prudent to address both this and the moderator issue in a single LRO.
Not holding my breath…

It should've come in with the Policing and Crime Act 2017 when they reversed the silliness around expanding ammo, but a spiteful DCC put the kibosh on it at the last minute

Anyone heard anything more on this? I suppose we'll have to wait a while...

Re: Home Offices launches consultation on deregulating sound moderators
Its dropped off the radar as far as I can :(. Shame as that would have made my renewal paperwork easier to process for the FEO!
