From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] It has come to my attention that our wonderful Home Office have recently sent out a questionnaire to all Police licencing depts..............because they want firearms to be given classifications........long-barrelled AND TOTALLY LEGAL revolvers are obviously causing concern; and get this....... .50 cals are to be classed as "MATERIAL DESTRUCTION" weapons. .22's such as the calico are to be classed separately and considered as handguns........the list goes on I am led to believe. It is an obvious precursor to a whole new swathe of rules and regulations to stuff law-abiding shooters YET AGAIN!!! Don't the police have enough problems administering the existing laws? When was the last incident with .50's or calico's or long-barrelled revolvers? This is outrageous!!! Do any of our wonderful shooting organisations know about this? have they had any input? WHY THE HELL WON'T THEY WAKE UP TO WHAT IS GOING ON AND FOR CHRIST'S SAKE FORM ONE UNITED SHOOTING ORGANISATION?....and I don't mean that shambolic poodle of an excuse for one called the BSSC. If this isn't a wake up call that gets treated with the appropriate response, then we do not deserve to have ANY shooting sports in this poxy country...........Tiny Bliar and Jack Boot Straw will have won - IS THAT WHAT YOU ALL WANT? Chris (Very angry and totally pissed off) -- Are you sure this questionnaire is from the Home Office? It sounds more like something that ACPO would dream up. The HO usually leave it to ACPO to do things like this. Anyway, you can still follow the plan I have stated before - write to your local force director of finance, find out how much money they give to ACPO and then see your local councillor and complain.
