I think this debate has run its course.
I cannot, in all honesty, be bothered to repeat myself all the time by
responding to individual posts.
I have clearly stated my position, which is universally disagreed with.
(Venomously and vehemently I might add!)
I would say that some of the contibutors do themselves no credit. I find
personal jibes insulting, (weasel words etc et al) but, then, if that
person is incapable of articulating an argument, I suppose school ground
invective takes over.
Every time I voice an opinion, there are howls of outrage.
I realise now that is because I am corresponding with entrenched views,
minority views and a number of radical views.
I have tried to point out the stance of the police and the public at large,
but again, most correspondents don't want to know. All I get is stories
about how crap the police are, how corrupt they are, how incompetent, etc
etc. I dont mind, but it takes the value out of any debate.
I have even been blamed for the way the Met behaved at the visit of the
chinese premier!
lol. That took some beating! (as did the practical shooters one!)
News for you boys.
Shooters that hold your views are a minority group. There are more people go
to see a single premier league football game than share your views on
firearms.
Parliament isnt going to change anything for that number of votes. Contrary
to what Steve states, it is not the strength of the views, but the number of
people who are prepared to place their vote on the basis of a single issue.
Instead of blindly lashing out at every authority figure, take the time to
think what is required to gain political credibility.
There can only be one answer to that, and that is a united front. We will
never, ever have that in this country, because all the organisations fight
each other. If it was agreed by some wonderful means that, say, BASC would
be the overall representative body, there would be howls of outraged
indignation from people who want to carry bazookas for self defence.
Similarly, if the people here and from the SA bulletin board got there way,
I would be howling because I dont want to see complete freedom of movement
of firearms.
Does anyone else see this?
Hmmm.no, perhaps not.
BTW, to those that think I am corresponding here on an official basis, do
yourself a favour and see your doctor. Paranoia is treatable. And for those
that are being wound up, take a chill pill and settle down. This is a
computer screen. Treat it as such.

It is the strength of the views that counts, you are 100% wrong on
that one, because a poll may say 80% of people support the laws
but of those people few will base their vote on it. However,
if you're a shooter, you are far more likely to take the
candidate's view of guns into account when you vote.
This has been demonstrated in elections all over the world.
Steve.
