Remimax Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) Most likly the same as.when the pistol ban came in . You hand them in at you local police station . You get a receipt to keep then you apply for compensation that you wont get . Trust me when i say it leaves a bitter taste in ones mouth . yes especially if you got shafted twice like some of us that got done with the semi auto center fire rifle ban as well,.seem to recall i lost about £3000 WITH £50 comp per firearm taking the ****. we shipped em all to Belgium to avoid em being put thru the chop saw.

Scully Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 Two 'submachine guns' found according to BBC news tonight during raids carried out regarding a 'travelling fraternity feud'. When were they ever legal in the UK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savhmr Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Bureaucrats are the least qualified people to comment or impose laws on firearms. They have to be seen to be acting in the wake of this type of event. Every time a knee jerk reaction to crimes involving firearms has come off, it has made no discernible difference to actual public risk. Something the UK government would do well to consider. They could ban all guns altogether and it would not prevent this type of atrocity. For heavens sakes, what do they think, that Terrorists-R-Us just waltz into a gunshop and hand their certificates over and provide good reason for terrorist activities, or that they are already certificate holders so use that for access to ammunition? Europe does not want the public armed, period, no-matter the reason for holding firearms, so just use any news grabbing issue with firearms involved as justification to restrict freedoms and privileges even more. In the UK we had a government pre WW1 which encouraged the build up of publicly held arms (although the Pistols Act of 1903 exercised the first real gun control) in case of invasion, only to be countermanded by firearms control brought about by the 1920 Firearms Act which was because of concerns that too many privately held firearms were in circulation. Since that time, the UK has amended legislation many times and currently has some of the most robust gun control laws in Europe and they work! You simply cannot legislate against criminals or terrorists who obtain, hold and use illegal weapons. They are outside of the system. The chances of legally held firearms being "donated" or sold for such purposes I would suggest is slim to non-existent, so it's quite puzzling as to what the proposed tightening up of legislation aims to achieve other than involve loads of cost for no change in risk, and further alienating legitimate licence holders. We need to distance ourselves from the EU and as soon as possible. Not content with messing itself up, it will surely continue to erode our remaining liberties and economy should we remain inside the grip of such EU-centric bureaucrats.

deadeye18 Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) We need out of Europe ASAP . Just another excuse to disarm the public.Our government will be loving this and the sheeple of the UK and Europe will cheer and rejoice and feel much safer when they've surrendered some liberty for security.

rbrowning2 Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 With MEP's like this https://www.facebook.com/firearmsuk.org/posts/10153472528358122and shooting organisations like we have Then I would save your money. Every PW member should contact her by email and ask how many time do owners of military looking guns real or not show then in public? Ban fire crackers not guns. But I expect they will not listen they have their own agendas to look good and move their own career forward and don't care who they walk over in the process. The only satisfaction you will get is when we final vote yes to leave the EU and she will be out of a job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
69chris Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 so im assuming, using their logic, that a 'tactical' looking 10/22 is a much bigger danger to the public than a more usual, wooden stock 10/22 ? you really couldnt make it up could you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It leaves you wondering what planet theses MEPs live on and the unelected power they can abuse we need the American NRA to open an office in the UK.

ordnance Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 I have being in contact with a few politicians here, and they are against any more restrictions on firearms. Have the politicians in the rest of the UK and EU learnt nothing from experinces in Northern Ireland, terrorists people will always be able to get firearms tightening firearms controls on law abiding citizens will do nothing to stop that.

mick miller Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 See my other post regarding the use of lead. Sometimes a small, committed team can be more effective in affecting legislation that a larger, more reactionary organisation it seems.
