Firearms laws

#1 Post by lovemovies22 »

Do you support the firearms laws in England and Wales? Or you oppose the firearms act 1997 which banned pistols unless section 7.3? Or the Firearms Act 1988 which banned automatic weapons?

Are you satisfied with the laws overall? Just want to hear your views.

I am unsure of your intentions and what your aims are with all these questions.
There are plenty of on-line resources that have in-depth reviews and analyses of the UK firearms laws.

You have been very vague and less than honest with some of your statements so forgive me my scepticism, but this may be why you have suddenly got few or no replies to your questions.

I agree with Mattnall, maybe an explanation of the direction you are coming from would be good at this stage.

These multiple questions spread out all over the board are being prodded gingerly with a stick for a reason.

The accumulative effect pointing to the suspicion that the questions you'd really like to ask are:
'How can a foreign national come to the UK and obtain firearms? Are there loopholes I can exploit? How vigilant are the police in checking out my story?'

The simple answer to all those and any more you may be pondering are your chances of getting firearms and ammunition within your circumstances from legal sources are really really poor to non-existent.

If you think we're suspicious of your intent (we are) then you can multiply that by 1000 when you approach the police.

These probing questions are as conspicuous as the recent spate of undercover RMP officers contacting collectors for deactivated L85 and GPMG parts.

That is probably the stupidest dumbest question I have ever seen asked on a UK shooting forum in all my life. I can only assume you must be brain dead or trying to deliberately wind people up.
