Get people shooting, and it is harder to ban it. Does anyone else notice that the ACPO are now incredibly concerned about things that they weren't concerned about at all before other things were banned? Have criminals started getting tickets and sniping police officers since the pistol ban "stopped" them getting pistols? Or is this just another creeping law system, that will eventually ban everything? What exactly is a long range sniping rifle? Well, 7. 62mm is the standard, as it has been for many years. Gosh, NRA, hear that? Your bolt-action sniping rifles are going to be banned next, along with rather odd long-barrelled pistols, which no criminal in their right mind would ever want. The police want to ban the long barrelled pistols for what reason? on what grounds can they be seen as espcially dangerous? Compared to a racegun modified 1911, or the police's own MP-5 sub-machine guns, they are almost totally useless in a building, or up close, or to conceal, or... Compared to almost any rifle, they are woefully hard to shoot, inaccurate and under-powered.. Who are the ACPO fooling? Or is it that the politicians are wanting a justification?? It all stinks like week old fish. Nigel On the related note, if you still haven't entered your club into the ShootersWeb website, do so now!
