The “reflect the public’s views” is wide open to the antis and anyone else who wishes to see shooting/gun ownership further restricted. Could not agree more it's nearly an open invitation for the antis to fill Thier boots !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkedUp Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 I asked my eldest son and filled in the answers he gave me. “Don’t know” came up more frequently than for Big Kieth in the Office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesj Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 As far as i can see the survey is just a means for the powers that be to say "look we are doing what you asked for" instead of having to say we have done a proper investigation and it turns out that yes WE ****** up! I think it is a waste of time and well just be a case of heads they win and tails we loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, as FELWG, shooting organisations and the shooting press have been beating the drum about statutory guidance for a couple of years I presumed most shooters would have known about it. Just for interest.............. The Policing and Crime Act 2017 makes provision for the Home Secretary to issue statutory guidance to the police on their firearms licensing functions. The police will have a duty to have regard to the guidance when they exercise their firearms licensing functions. The police and crime act 2017 provision was referring to HOG2016 and we all know how well that went. “have regard” but not legally bound to follow or comply with it. A situation that is unlikely to change, unless the new HOG delivered all that the chief Constables want or it becomes primary law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the reason they are not is they make the rules up as they go, and guidelines are exactly what they say they are.. guidelines. The police messed up BIG time, and now want the public to tell them what to do ???? Look at how many times legal firearms are used in these types of crimes over the last ten year period compared to illegally held.. now tell us this is worth the webpage it's filled out on! The police need to sort them selves out, not add yet more restrictions on 99% of legal cert holders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 Seems to be the case that they are using their grave error to advantage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesj Posted October 23, 2021 Report Share Posted October 23, 2021 Sounds like the new guide lines came in the day the survey closed and the old bill want to check you face book and bank balance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you know that Bluesj was making a tongue in cheek comment and as such the intended meaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
