Thnx DS...
To just give you a idea what arguments/lines EC are using..."Full auto rifles are not so dangerous(yup-we do not have them..) because of waste of ammo in this mode...semi auto rifles on the other hand can be very accurate and used at full potential.."Monday some statement is coming from FU in multiple languages.
Dromia-this means the time of petitions is over,time to grab the "knife"-legal body....or die

So if full auto is not dangerous why cant we have them? The agenda being hurried forward here is so dangerous. Was it Hitler that disarmed the nation before he kicked off?

I've read elsewhere a view being proffered that the 'elites' (not the term I'd use for them) are merely using the umbrella of fighting terrorism to slowly progress their gun grab policy to ensure that at some point in the future only the police and military have firearms.
The thinking being that when the Ponzi scheme that is the EU collapses in the not so very distant future the last thing they want in a period of civil unrest is armed citizens.

Make of that what you will but we cannot deny that we live in interesting times.

They are really making it difficult for themselves and us, there seems no other way to donate other than via paypal or bank transfer, neither of which I will use and they want the money in bloody Euros. Happy to send a cheque in £s, but no address. I suspect there will be many shooters like me.

I wonder how much our "national" organisations will be donating on our behalf?

Haven't seen anything from them to mobilise gun owners to this "threat".

Sooner we are out the bloody EU the better as then we will only have our own countries anti-gun ownership agenda to deal with.

That's not correct.

Just under the Donate Button on the upper right hand side it has the major card icons. Click on it and the link take you to a page where you can donate via Paypal or ...

This page, in fact, click on the Continue link where the cards are listed:
https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/websc ... d55fd35542

Don't have a PayPal account?
Use your credit card or bank account (where available). Continue
