Unlikely, but if there is a time to start writing to your MP/ petitioning, this is it.

It was a Labour government who banned .22 pistols after a Conservative government banned centre fire pistols. So I am not entirely sure how you have come to the conclusion that the Liberal Democrats were a critical element in that particular issue.

Their past is catching up on some of them, what goes around comes around. :)
Belfast shooting: Ex-IRA man Gerard 'Jock' Davison shot dead. A former senior IRA figure has been shot dead near Belfast city centre. Gerard 'Jock' Davison, who was in his late 40s, was killed at Welsh Street in the Markets area of the city at about 09:00 BST on Tuesday

I seem to recall Buddhism teaches the concept of Bad Karma and it catching up and biting you in the Arse.

Karma? Bollox. It's just sometimes, when a piece of shiote gets what he truly deserves, it's the huge sense of poetic justice that prevails. If "Karma" was a mechanism in operation, there would have been plenty of ba$tards who would have met a fitting end before now...

Return of .22lr pistols to S1 authority was on the Conservative manifesto for the previous election. I assume Joe believes that it was the Lib Dems that stopped that happening.
Personally i think it was the Cumbrian shootings/Derrick Bird that scuppered any chance of that happening, i don't think it ever got to the stage where there wasa debate about it between the Cons/Libs

.22 pistols on sec1 would be awesome and very sensible to my mind. We'll never get fullbore pistols back but .22's would be a great result!
