Scully Posted March 1 Report Share Posted March 1 We all need to be emailing the paper. Although amongst the lies there are some truths, most of even those are taken out of context in the pursuit of headlines and a readership willing and ready to be outraged.

Conor O'Gorman Posted Monday at 09:47 Report Share Posted Monday at 09:47 BASC is quoted in the article: Bill Harriman, director of firearms at the British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC) agrees that the system needs to improve. He said: “The UK has some of the strictest gun laws in the world but inefficient licensing puts guns in the hands of the wrong people. “The police service is failing. It’s not just failing to deliver to certificate holders, it’s failing to deliver to the wider public because any inefficiency will mean that public safety is at risk.” Of the rise in licence fees, he adds:” People will be paying more for a service that continues to be inefficient.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
