Lots of good advice there.
I found that once the ban came in, I naturally lost interest through not participating in gun sport. WRONG!

I now feel that the whole thing was manipulation by the tossers in government, knee-jerking to the Dunblane incident.
Don't let it happen in the States.

More bollocks and lies from the NRA.

Plenty of people in the countryside still have shotguns for shooting.

Sidearms and rifles have been taken though, Anon.

I took part in the Countryside Alliance march as a towny with nothing to do with them other than a shared dispair of the unopposed and creeping dictatorship in our country.

No more Dunblanes for sure, but record gun crime on our streets.

I can't help but think that at least part of the impetus for this was to disarm a public which could become dangerously disaffected with politicians - rightly so.

We handed in two immaculate Webley officers' revolvers still wrapped in the original army stores greasepaper. They were unregistered and who would have known ? We're kicking ourselves about this.

Now they won't jail burglers and the police refuse to prosecute thugs that terrorise whole areas. How the hell do people protect themselves when it really starts to escalate out of control. The point is they don't - that was the plan.

Anon,

You seem to have missed the fact that the video was covering events in both Britain and Australia.

And Australia has banned pump-action shotguns.

The "bollocks and lies" you're exercised about didn't come from the NRA.

Never. I won't register what I have. I will never turn a gun in. Never.
