Pointy Hat Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 I know it's a stab in the dark but it's still worth keeping the pressure on them.

1066 Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 I was absolutely gutted when we lost our pistols, it was my passion and I would dearly love to see a return, even with just .22's. However, I think that some of these petitions are counter productive. Far from showing the powers that be there is a genuine ground swell of opinion is support of the cause, it shows how little support there is. I guess this petition will peter out at around 5-10,000 signatures and fade into the sunset. In another thread on this forum there's a post stating BASC now has 155,000 members, if all of these members signed, from just one organisation we would be half way there. This campaign needs to be co-ordinated at a national level and the associations really need to encourage their members to vote/sign. It's really not good enough to think why support .22 pistols when I only shoot driven game/wildfowl/clays what ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't, dont shoot pistols and probably wouldn't even if I could, but id not stop others who are law abiding do so for competition etc. Edited January 29, 2019 by ShootingEgg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drut Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Signed:Personally I don't want a pistol but think banning pistols was political showboating with no positive impact on public safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tford Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 511 persons signed the last 22 target petition in 6 months before it closed. Sorry to sound negative, but attention would be best focused on other areas of shooting requiring support (pick you battles and all that).
