In 1996, when I was a small boy, a madman shot up a bunch of kids at a school in my country. You may have heard of this event. It was the Dunblane massacre. The anti gun groups got together, and formed the "snowdrop petition". A petition to ask for the removal and destruction of all handguns...

Ammo doesn't deteriorate that much. Look at all of the milsurp ammo on the market.

Good stuff as always Oleg! That's one of the peculiarities in American law v European law. In Europe it's considered polite to use supressors when shooting (although the rest of our gun laws are draconian to the extremes) whereas in the US, you need to fill out all that paperwork and pay the...

That's very true. I'd imagine "ka ka ka ka" for a prolonged period of time to be more intimidating than "brrrrt" (change mags). Of course I'm a disarmed UK keyboard commando with no experience of ranged combat.

At least you guys can actually own handguns. All of our previously legally held handguns are now manhole-covers and sick "artistic sculptures" depicting the destruction of firearms.

Those "do-gooders" think they know it all! Their drivel is so ill-thought-out that I was half expecting one of them to be quoted as saying "Guns are bad; Criminals are ok"

Muzzle-loader eh? Wonder if it's UK legal? :)

As I am a UK citizen I have to apply for a firearms certificate. The police (who issue the certificates) judge each case on their respective merits and "good reason" to own a firearm. I was denied. Apparently, the fact that I am a young law student means that I am unfit to keep arms. "Maybe...

Nah, you need to fill in paperwork for that. 13.9" is classed as an SBR.

Aye, that's the thing though. They aren't posessed for nefarious purposes, but still the JBTs of the ATF don't discriminate. :( They don't make the distinction between the old man's (unregistered) Chinese Type56 bringback from 'Nam and the illegally converted "Tec-9 yo!"

Nice work as always Oleg. Very good Sir.

Hello there. Good to see another UK Citizen in here :) I can definately sympathise with your urge to train with firearms. It really does reflect badly on UK law, and UK society in general that we have to leave our little Island in search of fun doesn't it? Blair

That is true, it's also where my family name comes from. I put up some of Oleg's work around campus. It seems an odd juxtaposition in a way. (Oleg's photos sharing "activism space" with Socialist Worker propaganda posters) I just realised that in all this excitement, I forgot to ask Oleg for...

Whackjob terrorists aren't going to spend loads of cash on a .50 cal rifle when they can achieve a higher level of destruction more cheaply with home made, conventional explosives. The "terror threat" from these weapons is just an excuse for the liberals to ban them.

Aw God! It looks as if the other commonwealth countries are going the same way as us. Remember, there is still time to stop the ban, bills can be killed. Blair

Indeed. The year before I left high school, for my Advanced Higher dissertation, I chose the subject of gun-control. Kleck & Lott were my two best sources. The dissertation secured me an "A", the exam board cited "the quality and quantity" of my research as well as "excellent logic" but appeared...

That's a very good idea. I think I'll take a bunch to University and put them up. Heck, the commies put stuff up, so I guess it's the proper place for activism. Not so sure on this one. UK officers are traditionally unarmed, they are -increasingly- putting armed officers on the street though...

Also, find out what brand of ammo your local police forces use. Use this ammo for defense purposes, as if you ever end up in court because of a defensive shooting, you can't be picked apart due to your ammo choice. "It's the same brand of ammo that the police in my area use. Same ammo, same...

Because handguns were outlawed, so only the outlaws now have handguns. Basically, none of the legally held handguns that were around prior to the ban are around today, this is due to the fact they were all registered, the legitimate handgun owners turned their guns over due to force & fear...

A few conservative MPs have made pro-gun statements, but the party-line is very much "don't rock the boat". Every other party is rabidly anti-gun.
