HW95J Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 So an alternative title for this programme would be: 'Two antiques are purchased, no laws are broken, everyone remains fine'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The programme seems to imply that anyone can go to America and just buy a handgun (WRONG!) even if its antique you cant do that. They then can 'export' it out of the US (MEGA WRONG in so many ways) and just walk through customs with it by explaining its an antique. I have got to see this! it appears to be a total work of fiction. I mean to say, they wouldn't be biased would they? Surely not!

Mice! Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 there was a case of pox in Formby recently with a dead red squirrel found, if you want a read of how uneducated people are or biased against shooting or controlling a pest species have a look on the Lancashire and Merseyside mammals group on face book, to be fair there were a lot of people saying shoot the greys save the reds but still an awful lot against any kind of shooting.

So many stupid shallow people about. If Greys and foxes looked like rats they'd be screaming to get shut of them. Apologies for going off on a tangent !

norfolk dumpling Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Did I not read there is a proposal to ban antique guns - the same proposal that wanted .50 calibre guns banned? This was EU inspired I recall but our lot were considering implementing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Caught a quick glimpse of a trailer for this the other night, and from what I saw a press and dies were used, which is fair enough, but I wondered how they came about primers as I thought nowadays these were only sold via ticket.

That's what this Panorama is all about, softening up public opinion by creating the impression that street gangs are running around shooting each other with £4000 antique pistols 47 minutes ago, Scully said: Caught a quick glimpse of a trailer for this the other night, and from what I saw a press and dies were used, which is fair enough, but I wondered how they came about primers as I thought nowadays these were only sold via ticket. You know as well as I do it will be a politically motivated distortion, so why let the truth get in the way?

Amusing the way some love the non interventionist way, of nature red in tooth and claw being the correct way but when we become ill due to nature we all scream for a doctor to remedy the situation?

old'un Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Panorama BBC1 20:30, Not a lot of info on the program yet, but it might be worth a watch, specially if you are into collecting antique hand guns. be interesting to see if the program leans towards a call for all guns to be taken out of public ownership, lets see where they take it.....https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0bfkdwx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinfireman Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 One of the things that the programme will be doing, is hitting out at reloading............so no surprises the BBC will be hitting out at us again! Perhaps Panorama should be asking the government if it will release the witness statements given "in camera" at the Dunblane massacre enquiry.............the ones that were sealed for 100 years! (The atom spies only got 30 year sealed!). Lord Burton, prior to his death, tried unsuccesfully in the House of Lords for these papers to be made public! The BBC will never go down that road, will they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make no comment about it one way or another, but simply to say that as I understand it it was to protect the witnesses from adverse anything as they will have died before the ( long fogotten by then) papers are released.

The BBC will never go down that road, will they? I don't think this is over yet and is not going to lie down. Add QVS, Hamilton et al and (on the other side of the fence) Glenn Harrison into the pot. No need to stir, it's quietly bubbling away. Edited August 20, 2018 by wymberley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
