dazza Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 I heard last week that dissident republicans had got their hands on lists of people in Northern Ireland that are members of gun clubs. The story has now appeared in today’s paper. They are actively targeting people on these lists and taking their firearms at gunpoint. According to the PSNI they are especially seeking people that own high powered rifles. Maybe it would be better if members from over here didn’t post pics or details of firearms or the area they are from. Be careful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tweedledee Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 someone told me that the police stations have a list of centrefire owners (both pistol and rifle) so that they know to be careful if called out to any types of dispute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
