TommyB Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 (edited) Yeah but the wording gives the home secretary the power to cut BASC out of decision making does it not? We can't go on a promise. At least the petition will force parliament to respond and give us clarification on this issue. Totally agree. What the petition does is let government and police know that this has been spotted by the shooting community. They will be forced to clarify the role of the shooting community in any consultation. An assumption that they will always do that is foolish to say the least. Edited April 14, 2016 by TommyB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David BASC Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 BASC are working to ensure we and for that matter others, are included, in our formal response - which you can see here:http://basc.org.uk/blog/press-releases/latest-news/basc-responds-to-plans-for-change-in-firearms-laws/ We have stated: At subsection 5 to this clause, the Home Secretary is required to consult the National Police Chief’s Council and the chief constable of the Police Service of Scotland before issuing guidance. BASC asserts that this duty should be extended to shooting stakeholders. The Home Office routinely draws upon the shooting community’s expertise already by asking for comments on each new tranche of its guidance. This arrangement ought to be formalised.

mick miller Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Moderators on licence as component part, really? How is this useful? The argument can't be that they would fall into the hands of criminals as you could just as easily have one made or buy an air rifle suitable moderator, which is also suitable for a rifle, and use that. Frankly, the whole moderator thing is daft in my humble opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
