I can only assume that  you have no idea what been going on in the world outside of yours. 

I asked for a source because you said that it had already gone through- which it hasn't. It's extremely likely that it will but it hasn't happened yet.

The ban has not gone through. An amendment keeping rifles above 10,000ft/lbs as section 1 with additional security was submitted by Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown on Wednesday. 

This will be discussed on Monday at the report stage.

Grandfathering has never been an option.

For more accurate information go to the FCSA Facebook page.

Thanks

Increasing security rather than outright banning something? Sounds dangerously close to being logical!

So when we still have our rifles are you going at accept me as your saviour? :)

Not sure about a saviour. 

You could be a disciple, i think that the 50 cal boys could have done with every single rifle shooter to help out to put more pressure on the antis.

Does the .416 Barrett not come in under the proposed muzzle energy regs?

Yes, however if you are pushing it to get the long ranges barrel life is approx 500 rounds, it also kicks the **** out of the brass so reloading is difficult.

At £5 a round I could use a prophet.

As short a life as that, what do you get with the fifties ?
