And that is what makes said law an ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That can't even be turned into glue afterwards.

I hope I'm reading that all these posts are just being silly and not serious.
Otherwise there really is a lot of misunderstanding of written legal documents.

Ok I'll admit I got a bit overboard, but if Hunter vixen's interpretation is the right one and taken to its logical extreme then yes the law is a buggered up mess. One of the reasons having the house of commons full of chimps would be not a bad thing is that we can teach the chimps and right from wrong and they'll mainly fling poo in the commons and not outside of it.

How Very true...... clapclap ....... While my Sec5b shotgun post is a little "tongue in cheek" , it does raise the issue of our ridiculous contradictory and darn right flawed Firearms laws, just have a read through the Firearms Act......(It took me 10 mins to find the 12 bore issue) If it was a legal contract that you had paid a solicitor to draft, you you would sue them for incompetence!

And considering some MP's are former lawyers it speaks volumes of why they stopped practicing.

I offered advice to the guy concerned.

He got prosecuted not because his guns were front venting but because he had the cup device necessary to discharge CS and he had CS canisters for discharge.

It has previously been proven in court that because something can be adapted to be illegal does not mean it is itself illegal.

A fairy liquid bottle is not illegal but fill it with acid/ammonia and its lethal.

If the blank firer was designed to discharge a missile from the outset its section 5.

A bit like the story that was told here on FB only to found out a while after.....

+1. Always the way with these sorting of stories.

No further comment, M'lud.

More to do with the CS, than with the "gun"?
