My greatest fear would be a Scottish Prime Minister.... oh, hang on.

My only nightmare would be finding out that Light Sabres aren't real!

Whist relatively feasible ideas you present and tbh i could see them working !!!

 

Until someone then hacks the system in place to lets say protect/ secure the item !!! nothing is secure with enough intent and $$$ anything protected can be hacked ,cracked ,or opened ..

and then theres the fact that original/Old equipment will still remain that you could procure ... slightly defeating the object ....and if they did manage to collect all guns then someone would build/make one probably lol and the associated items required.

where there's a will there's a way !!!

[Wookie]

Pah.... Doing away with primers and replacing them with electrical circuits is a piece o'**** . you just need a coupl of contacts and some fuse wire (or similar). You pull the trigger, it makes a circuit, fuse wire explodes, cart goes off.

 

There's also a handgun in development that uses fingerprint recognition so that unauthorised people can't fire it. There are videos on youtube somewhere.

 

The big thing here is trust... You have to apply for a FAC/SGC and, when you are granted it, the police give you a certain level of trust. You lose it (being stoopid, etc) and that trust is taken away. There really is no way that you should need the police to "activate" a weapon if you have that trust. Also, you would need to make sure that no "historical" firearms were still in use, or the whole system breaks down. How long does a Silver Pigeon last for? That's how long it would take to implement something like this...

The Government would only store the information on a disc and lose it anyway :yp:

I have this reoccuring nightmare................. everything is covered in concrete, Arrhhhh!!!

 

 

[paulos]

....in the not too distant future, 'nano-engineering' and firearms legislation will lead to some, maybe most of the following:

 

SOME NIGHTMARES THAT MAY BECOME REALITIES! (but not in my life-time!)

 

1. Electrically fired guns have been around for over a hundred years and I can see an electronic gun being developed to 'see off' the need for the percussion lead-compound primer. These guns may also, in the future, be programmed to be fired only after you have telephoned the plod to tell him you are shooting on that day. Constable Plod will then either give you a code to punch into the gun or send a signal to activate it. At any time needed, for instance when you are 'reported' by an 'old lady' (or anti) for shooting 'near her house', a signal will be sent to deactivate the gun.

 

2. Conventional guns that still exist or 'guns of historical interest' will still be in use, but the ammunition will contain a special a 'civilian' primer; this primer will have an anvil which can be turned away from the priming compound by a strong electromagnetic field, to render the rounds useless.

 

Before you dismiss this as eccentric claptrap, ask yourself this question: 'Did you ever think there'd come a day when you couldn't smoke in a pub?'

 

Also, did you know there are moves afoot to make compulsory, the microscopically etching of an i.d. number on every primer ?

 

Do you have any nightmares?

 

This will never happen! :yp:

a government would sooner ban guns all together than go to those lengths!

[dustyfox]

I think the human race will die before these rifles/guns are made.

[digger]

Micro scopically marking every primer ? Do you have a link ? Seems a totally pointless exercise, who would keep track of the data and what purpose would it serve.

Could you tell me what the New Law on on disposal of fired shotshells will consist of ? i have heard nothing of this

ref importing/selling of ALL types of 'imitation' and deactivated firearms will be banned !!! Prob a good thing TBH.

Imitation weapons were used in 3,332 of all the firearms offenses committed in 2004/05 Evidently its clear theres a problem with them !!!

ALL THIS whilst the recorded Knife crime !!! figures are absolutely appalling

Newsflash 28th October 2007 - Channel 5 news;

 

Figures obtained under the freedom of information act show that there is a knife crime committed in the UK every 24 minutes!

 

- in fact the figures show that there have been 5,500 serious knife crimes in the UK in just 3 months.

 

and what do they do about this !!! more stop and search on the most liable to be carrying a knife statistically !!!

higher sentences for knife crime in line with gun crime !!

tbh i know what i fear more and thats not a gun , I blame the media hype on all gun related crime whilst they sweep knife crime to a small box in the back pages ..

No but I never thought we would have to go out to the back room either after hours.....

When they ban scrums, rucks and mauls in rugby. They've already more or less outlawed reasonable use of the boot to clear players out of the way when they are lying over the ball.

 

When they make us get written permission from ramblers who use footpaths within a mile of where we shoot.

[salisburykeeper]

If you let thoughts like that get to you then you will end up in the nut house! just relax and worry about something important like "why is that funny dressed mans rucksack ticking next to me on the bus?"
