European Commission bans: AR15/AK47 rifles and magazines

[Chuck]

The name shows on the paypal page...but again, how do we know. If the Spanish set up is behind this then why is it not showing on the other pages? Just asking: if they are legit and fighting the good fight then I am all for it.

If you do a little research, Firearms United have actually held conferences direct and in person in the European Parliament.

I've followed F.U. for months on Faceache and they appear to be well motivated and above board.

Their contact details (address and landline telephone) are clearly displayed on their F.B. page:

Address: Chlodna 20/109, Warszawa
Tel: +48 660 792 796

I have had an email from them that they only do Bank Transfer or paypal.

Go to http://www.gunsweek.com/en/current/arti ... parliament
There is a new statement and explanation what is going now...

Well, I watched the video and I'm convinced its legit now. Ill make a donation for the cause

I still want to know if the rimmy AR's are affected by this in the UK as Ive got one on order and dont want to end up giving it straight to the police
Any way of finding out? the wording in this cobblers seems to state military looking long guns of the AR - AK varieties, all semi autos of high power??? Definition of high power? Grandfather rights have been mentioned for existing owners etc
Clear as the preverbial mud but an agenda is being forced without a doubt.
As I see it we "voted" out of the EU so none of this applies to the UK after the day we "voted" out

Looks like the magazine ban has gone through:

https://m.facebook.com/FirearmsUnitedSw ... 1229341442

"Following lengthy negotiations, it was agreed that for long firearms exceeding
60 cm a magazine with a capacity greater than 10 rounds would be restricted,
while for a short firearm the limit would be at 20 rounds.
Member States will be able to give authorisations for reservists, target
shooters and others with special licences for these firearms. As for those
firearms that now fall under Category A6, there is a grandfathering clause.
Status of magazines/ loading devices Law enforcement authorities in certain
countries pressed hard for restrictions on higher capacity magazines. The
Council approach was to prohibit their possession but this was rejected by the
Parliament as it was considered impractical to enforce. Instead it was agreed
that future acquisitions of loading devices will depend upon showing a valid and
appropriate license, as is already the case for ammunition, so only those with
authorisation to hold category A firearms will be permitted to acquire high
capacity magazines.
People who are found in possession of a high capacity magazine after a
transition period and who do not have a category A authorisation will risk
having their authorisation to hold firearms removed."

How does category A,B,C map to UK firearms licences?
Looks to me like category A could be sec 5 or sec 1 depending on context.

How the hell they think they will regulate magazines is a mystery as well.
