Unless the point is to drive another nail into the coffin of British shooting.
They hate us and everyone who thinks like us. We're a target to them, nothing else.
Don't you mean people who think?

I will be honest here don't shoot me (bad analogy ) lol but I have voted Conservative since I was young but in the interest of my sport I will look at UKIP ? but is this the right thing to do ? I have never seen any Government in my 53 years on this planet do anything that I can say is better since the 60s , all we seem to do is loose our liberties in so many ways..
We have the police and others looking to blame people and companies for the Lee Rigby atrocity but in Norfolk we have so many speed camera vans on duel carriage ways just to make easy cash and persecute people who are going about there business on a daily basis ? why not put this man power to good use ?, I don't mind speed vans outside schools !! but why put it on a open freeway,

Surprise surpise - the SNP are at it also:
The first minister added that ending rates exemptions for shooting and deerstalking estates, "put in place by the Tories in 1994 to protect the interests of major landowners"

Logical, the SNP are taking over from Labour in Scotland to some extent, and are probably a bit pinker too.

No government likes the idea of firearms in the hands of their citizens. They might become more revolting than usual.

And both have no idea how much they make from said landowners. Typical crud from the communists and unemployables!

They tried it on here as well, this was the response.
