What if there was a compromise? What would people's reaction be to SB and CF with regular length barrels but retain the coat hanger? Comments?

Gaz I have to say credit where credit is due if it wasn't for the likes of BASC and the CA pushing our previous .22 petition and with support from SACS and SA we wouldn't have gotten anywhere near 22,000 signatures. They deserve a lot of thanks for giving publicity to something that is outside their remit they certainly are following the unity message.
as CMMG already posted if all shooters should direct their efforts into our Unity 2015 campaign then it may help facilitate change. I don't want to be too confident but we are likely in the best position we have ever been in to get this changes but we really need all shooters to be writing to their MPs.
Information and advice on how to do so can be found below.
