No logic to lead ban

Thank you .I’m more at home celebrating than moaning and I’ve been preoccupied with the latter these last few days.

This and your previous post - excellent.

@fellside the shareholders quip is reference to an old tv advert, it is meant to be seen as a reference to the payrolled at BASC.

No slight at you with my mention of volunteers, as others have also brought up the subject of volunteering.  

My opinions of BASC aren’t isolated but also don’t match those of others, it doesn’t mean mine aren’t valid though.  At best BASC come across as an expensive insurance provider, at worst they come across as a VERY expensive insurance provider.

Gun ownership and therefore shooting sport is under threat from increased legislation not X’boxes as has been posted.  I’ve introduced a few teenagers to shooting, as they all had an obsession with COD, all but one stuck to shooting and dropped the gaming.  
 

I see - thank you for explaining Red696. Yes increased legislation is certainly a growing threat. However, most sports are significantly threatened by computer games also. At least this is what I’m told by various sports coaches. A double whammy you might say. I know one thing for sure though (as Konor notes), once people are given a chance to access shooting, they are invariably enthusiastic to return. Overcoming the perceived (or actual) barriers is key.

That's probably for the best for you to take a time out.

And let's be clear for the avoidance of doubt - you have stated incorrectly that: "BASC chose not to fight the lead ban and let down the shooting community" 

But BASC actually VOLUNTEERED to ban lead after John Swift wanted to do this over a decade ago. 

You made all this happen and then tell us that you are fighting against it.

You refuse to answer any of the questions asked, but simply ask people to phone you so that you can try to appease them over the phone. You can't be reading any of this forum because you simply jump in here and there to state how BASC are fighting the ban, even though it was you who asked for the ban in the first place.

You cannot plant a bomb in a building and then claim to be a hero by helping to carry out the dead and injured.

Made me smile. Sadly, it is accurate and I find BASC's responses range from ignoring the question, vague, evasive or just amateurish.
