I don't know and it is all speculation, however with the total lack of a national proactive pro shooting body driving out interests forward I suspect that you are right.

Voted for you folks but the numbers aren't looking good for you. Must say I had to chuckle at this statement made by Keith Vaz
"Our legislation makes Britain a beacon of safety and it would be completely irresponsible to change the law governing hand guns."
A beacon of safety! He's having a laugh.

Blu - do you have any US sites you could post the link on? That might boost it.

well, last night I emailed basc to enquire why there had been no response, (very nice picture of the shiny new media centre on the web page), and received a message back this morning saying 'basc has successfully campaigned in court for handguns to be allowed on some certs for humane dispatch' and 'also campaigned for some time for the reintroduction of .22 target pistols for sporting events'.
I think they're obviously starting to embrace the political side of shooting by completely avoiding the question?.
