Scully Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 UK shooting news got it wrong apparently. Posted the link at lunchtime but must have done something wrong as it hasn't posted. Will do it when home this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrowningB525 Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Sent an email to the cpsa on Saturday suggesting they inform the members about this, but I doubt they will. Is there no comment from the basc guy who posts on here. Surely we pay these people for more than a new card each year. CPSA are the worst. I wouldn't hold your breath.

mick miller Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 So, if it is a muff up, and you've signed, how do you go about removing your signature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oowee Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Thanks Scully for your post. Having read it it now seems the sort of proposal that we should support. Start another petition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyB Posted April 11, 2016 Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 (edited) It is still valid. Nice to see people getting involved and realising we need to be as vocal if not more so than those who would see our rights diminished.

David BASC Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Been away with my family for a week. Hence my silence. As already said BASC and other organisations are working together to bigger and better outcomes for all lawful shooters David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontastic Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 I take it by everyone still signing this it means no-one agrees with the views of sacs, Basc, ngo etc. If so then why bother having any of the organisations representing shooting.

srspower Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 I'm now confused, I did a video promoting this petition after being asked too! But surely given the wording of article 81 couldn't the police and home secetary cut basc out in the future if they wanted? And should I take the video down? Amend it?

David BASC Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 No BASC will not be cut out of future discussions on firearms licencing A bit more info here http://basc.org.uk/blog/press-releases/latest-news/basc-responds-to-plans-for-change-in-firearms-laws/ David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't go on a promise. At least the petition will force parliament to respond and give us clarification on this issue.

fortune Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 For all of the good efforts of the orgs in putting the case for the shooter,We always seem to be on the back foot defending situations put in place by others. The orgs may be in consultation with the met police on a six monthly basis but surely this is far to low a level to be in consultation. Why aren't proposals being put forward to relax the purchase of All sorts of ammunition? Several times on here shooters (mainly in Wales) have queried why their mate who has a 308 can't buy EG 243 ammunition for them and transfer it to their ticket on return to avoid having to travel long distances in person. If you have a ticket and can be trusted then why restrict what you can buy. It's like saying that you can drive a Range Rover but you can't drive a mini. The orgs should be on the front foot And making the proposals and not reacting to the proposals made by others that aren't interested in shooting. Why not try to organise some sort of mass online protest direct to the top of the tree rather than grovelling around at low level. who is it that is setting the agenda for any proposed changes at the planning stages? If it is civil servants that are setting the proposals, who monitors them and on what grounds are proposals advanced? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 what else? RFD's to administer 1 for 1 variations. The current system is ludicrously nonsensical and benefits no one. Licensing of the person rather than the gun; aka SGC type licensing. There is no logic and nothing to be gained either by the shooter nor the general public by the FAC system.
