red_stag88 Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 I may be missing for a week or so. I have just recived about 20 consecutive "hits" on the webpage blocker for having a look at shotguns. And looking at shotguns logically means im a criminal doesn't it? Time to brew up a polite letter to the IT Dept, telling where they can kindly shove their filter...... :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Browning Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Red, just let your IT dept see some of your earlier posts on this forum, having seen your spelling they'll soon see you were actually looking at Shoguns !

webber Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Red Dont forget to point out to your IT people that you are simply seeking information on an activity that is legal in the UK. As browning suggests, show them some of your earlier posts. Youve either improved because of the practice, and p**s taking, sorry, encouragement from various members, or your school fees have finaly started to pay off. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red_stag88 Posted December 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 My laptop internet has started to crash and brings up a message from the server to please wait. :( This is the begining of it lads. Hows this? I notice my Internet access has been limited, possibly due to the fact I have been frequenting sites which are on the topic of firearms. Please may I bring to your attention that I possess a number of firearms, all of which are perfectly legal. I am considering buying a new shotgun, so naturally I would like to research all the possibilities. Do you not spend lots of time researching products that often carry hefty price tags? May I ask what is the difference between myself researching Benelli’s latest shotgun and yourself researching Acer’s latest laptop? My sport is perfectly legal, and so is the posetion of firearms. I am very indignant that I have been stereo typed into being classed as a criminal due to the fact I own a gun. If you did your own research properly, before banning all firearm related websites, you would quickly come to the conclusion that it is impossible to purchase a firearm with out the correct certification from the police. To gain this certificate the applicant is put under vast scrutiny to see if they are suitable to own a firearm or shotgun. You would also find that it is impossible to purchase a firearm with out a face to face meeting, so it is actually impossible to purchase firearm over the internet. Yours sincerely Can get on the networked desktops though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red_stag88 Posted December 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 I had to tone it down abit, on the request of my housemaster I notice my Internet access has been limited, possibly due to the fact I have been frequenting sites which are on the topic of firearms. Please may I bring to your attention that I possess a number of firearms, all of which are perfectly legal. I am considering buying a new shotgun, so naturally I would like to research all the possibilities. My sport is perfectly legal, and so is the possession of firearms. I am very indignant that I have been stereotyped into being classed as a criminal due to the fact I own a gun. If you visited these sites you would quickly come to the conclusion that it is impossible to purchase a firearm with out the correct certification from the police. To gain this certificate the applicant is put under intense scrutiny to see if they are suitable to own a firearm or shotgun. You would also find that it is impossible to purchase a firearm with out a face to face meeting, so it is actually impossible to purchase firearm over the internet. It is not the gun that is dangerous, but the person behind it, and the police are adept at letting only suitable people own firearms. If you intend on keeping all firearm and hunting related sites blocked, please may I suggest that you also ban all football related sites too, as the football is far more proficient at creating hatred and killing innocent people than any legally owned firearm.
