demonwolf444 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 WHsmiths: Retract Policy on Sale of Shooting Magazines "Whilst the age limit for acquiring a firearms certificate (required for the possession and purchase of certain rifles and high-capacity shotguns) is 14, there are a number of circumstances in which those aged under 14 can legally be involved in rifle sports. Furthermore Shotgun Certificates can be Granted at any age. We, the undersinged, believe that shooting teaches valuable skills to young people, a respect and understanding for animal life. WHsmiths has been pushed by a minority group into supporting a rediculous policy that serves only to help criminalise shooting, a perfectly legal and acceptable sport. Furthermore the undersinged henceforth will nolonger shop at WHsmiths stores and outlets in support of this petition."

Reece Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 Signed Can you edit it? There are a small number of minor spelling mistakes. Nothing major, but it might be worth fixing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demonwolf444 Posted October 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Thankyou live fast! Its nothing to do with the fact that these magazines are more advertisements than journalism, but to defend a perfectly legitamate sport from the criminalisation of this policy pushed by minority groups. We will not take it. sign up, share, mail organisations, pass it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also a link to the petition on the BASC "key issue" page regarding this matter. Thankyou BASC 660 now. Shooting Times has raised the issue and have posted a link to the petition on their website, so they will probably have the link in the print version as well, when the magazine goes to print. So sometime in the next few days, as magazines hit the shelves, we could be seeing a surge in signatures. Several others have posted links on their facebook pages as well.
