I know people who used them responsibly and enjoy it, as i do with airsofting but a real weapon is deadly and so doesnt appeal to me.
But the real issue is a better system to stop the nutters getting their hands on them. |

I had
0.45" ACP, colt pistol 0.44" magnum ruger Redhawk 9mm Browning Highpower 0.357" Smith & Wesson model 28 0.22" DES Unique target Pistol Also 0.22" Anchutz match 54, H&K G3 (lost after Hungerford), Parker Hale T4 and 18" barrelled Remington pump action shotgun. Never once did I commit any offence in the 20 years I held an FAC, I have shot all over the country and I resented that the actions of two people who should never have been issued a certificate screwed up the legitimate sport of thousands. My wife/children were all taught how to handle a firearm safely, they used to go down to my local range with me most weeks. The argument was that if legally held firearms were withdrawn nobody would be killed by handguns etc. Well history has shown that to be complete bollox. Plenty of illegal guns still out there. It is only the law abiding that don't have them any more.

I cant make my mind up on this one bit, for every reason i come up with saying yes, i find one that says no. If they were all spud guns then that would be funny.
I like guns, dont know why, but i do. More target stuff than clays and the times i have used a gun, i was pretty darn good, even if i do say so myself!. Last edited by Viney; 02-06-10 at 11:48 AM. |

I'm not sure what you are asking in your poll - I am certainly for laws covering the ownership and use of handguns, but probably not the current one.
Few people need to own guns these days, but I can understand that some people enjoy shooting as a sport/hobby. The guns used at Hungerford and Dunblane were legally held (some doubts about quantities of ammunition, but one bullet can be enough) so the knee jerk reaction was to ban handguns. As ever 99.99% of handgun owners were responsible and are not likely to run amok in such a way. I see no reason why people shouldn't be allowed to own and keep licensed guns if they so choose - the law should be about the storage and management of it, not an overall ban. |

Mr Tom, I hadn't seen the news so posted this completely unaware of the incident in Cumbria.
