Paul T Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Looks like it's been jumped on already by BASC, but if she was my MP I'd be penning her a letter http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/main-topics/politics/push-for-gun-control-as-101-casualties-end-up-in-yorkshire-hospitals-1-6802017 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossy835 Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 so she thinks putting up the cost of a licence will stop people shooting other people,what planet is she on.the ones with out a licence are the biggest trouble we have.

The Juicer Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 We have had several people shot here this last 2 weeks by pistols. Not one was a legally held pistol. It was terrorists doing the shooting with illegally held weapons. The restrictions do no good. Let's secure the borders first to stop them being smuggled in, in the first place. Oh and a man was stabbed on the old park road as well, shall we ban all knives...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesj Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 I think that her and others like her would be really upset if there was no gun crime or people injured by guns because they would have nothing to get bitter and twisted about at people (use rich toffs) they don't like!

KFC Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Why not concentrate on a really damaging statistic? https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/324580/rrcgb-main-results-2013.pdf Oh! of course, to do that would be unpopular with the uneducated masses on the run-up to an election. :mad: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckman91 Posted August 24, 2014 Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 She should go **** her self IMO. How does putting the price up do anything to stop gun related injurys? Answer it doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norfolk dumpling Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 'Call me Dave' on our side - he vetoed licence fee rise - we all now need to vote Tory lads (and lasses). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 Still not being represented by UK politics? Try the ballot box, we seem to revere the stupid these days with our gullibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesj Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 'Call me Dave' on our side - he vetoed licence fee rise - we all now need to vote Tory lads (and lasses). Did anyone think shooting would be safe with labour before this?! I think if you vote labour you my as well go to the nearest police station and hand in your guns and beat the the rush!

rogcal Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 (edited) Yvette Cooper is just another of the Blair's Babes who's worried about dropping out of the public's gaze and will do anything to get their name back in the media and just our bad luck she's chosen shooting for her "bete noire" this time round. No one with any intelligence will take any notice of her ramblings and sooner or later she will jump on another more politically advantageous (to her) band wagon! All the same, we need to be constantly on guard against anything that will curtail our rights and the costs of enjoying those rights. I know, how many injuries caused by horses are treated in Yorkshire each year. Could a licensing scheme be introduced along with compulsory insurance for those riding horses! Perhaps Ms Cooper could promote such a scheme via the media to highlight the expensive cost of treating horse related injuries.

Steppenwolf Posted August 25, 2014 Report Share Posted August 25, 2014 You might want to give this politician an email telling her why the license costs shouldn't go up: coopery@parliament.uk Mass police inefficiency and long waits, why should we pay more? Also what is up with BASC saying this: "Last night the British Association for Shooting and Conservation said the Labour Party was once again failing to see that “gun owners in the UK realise that a gun is a privilege not a right and are very responsible”." It is your right to own a shotgun in the UK. The police have to have a good reason to NOT grant you a shotgun license. It might be the case for having good reason for a firearm, but not the same for a shotgun. Also notice on a shotgun certificate there are also no additional conditions on it.

J_Edwards Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 It's reasons like this that I hate Labour. Such is life, ignorance will play a massive part in this debate. There's lots of people willing to sit back and pipe-off about how guns should be banned, and it looks like Labour are trying to play into their hands. The sort of people who will be behind this, are the sort of people who dial 999 to tell them that someone is walking around a cropfield with a big sniper rifle. I know lots of people who say that there isn't a "need" for guns, and that they don't see any reason why they should be legal. A lot of these think nothing of drinking so much that they end up in A&E or the police cells most saturday nights. All funded by the state, of course. Surely drink and drugs cause 100 times as many problems than legal gun ownership, but no, it's honest, working-class gun-owners that are to be punished. The full-blown antis are a different matter. A bloke in my village tried to put in an appeal, preventing or banning me from shooting on my own land, due to that there's wildlife on it! The FEO had a right laugh. Some people are in a fantasy world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted August 26, 2014 Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 It's all about votes. Suggesting banning alcohol due to its effects on the health of people, its cost to society through abuse and the cost of crime both in police costs, NHS costs while possibly being logical, would be political suicide. There's a valid train of thought which suggests I dont NEED my firearms, but the same logic would also suggest nobody NEEDS a mind and personality altering drug for no other reason than its enjoyable.

The point is that guns are an easy target to get armchair votes. I enjoy a drink as much, and possibly more than most people, but the point is that they are picking and choosing what they are address, to please the voters. I know it's only politics, but If they intend to ban guns due to 101 incidents in the last year, surely the same logic and trail of thought would want to ban alcohol too? Leave them to it I suppose, generally speaking, common sense tends to prevail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
