This is rediculouse!!!! Banning peoples hobbies sports and sometimes livlyhoods!! It is in humans nature to hunt what kind of species are these people going for banning shooting what next driving! more animals are probably injured on the roads than by us (not only injured but are just left there to rot. With the exception of some people who seem to think guns are toys) We need to create petitions visit anti sights get the whole picture and throw it back in their face. i for one am not going down without a fight!! (sorry i dont live in scotland)

the fact of the matter is if there is going to be a ban.....IT WILL HAPPEN!!!!

 

very sad but true.......no amount of jumping up and down will stop it.

 

i dont want to lose any aspect of fieldsports, but fox hunting has gone and there are probably a lot more influential people following that than air gun sport. ( landed gentry, lords and ladies etc).

 

i know some hunts have said f**k it and hunted, regardless,and the police have looked on and found it difficult to make any arrests....simply because of the numbers present, if you said f**k it IF there is a ban on air guns, unless you are shooting with 50 or 60 mates you ARE going to get arrested and have the book thrown at you.

 

i will shout as loud as anybody to protect the sport, and any others.......and sign any petitions going.

 

all i am saying is we are powerless...........so it would be easier to try and compramise rarther than screaming and shouting and the powers that be thinking we are a bunch of uncontrolable yobs....that THEY would never trust with a gun.

 

all the best

Hi mate .With all due respect.You have given up before the fight got started.Some fool even said we shoud have five shot at a target.( prick)All ask yourself when are you going to stand up and be counted Most of us hide behind a keyboard and do a lot of shouting .But we all need to stick together.Dont see that on this site.Some people are assholes simple as that.They dont get it Its not about any one thing.Look at all Feildsports because some day they will be after yours.Maybe not now.But it will come And when you are asking for back up.They will be no one left to help you.atb.

i will stand up and be counted along with you and many others!!!!

 

the point im making is with all the protests against "the hunting ban".........the powers that be spat the dummy out and tarred everybody with the same brush..........and took the action they thought to be appropriate ( wrong).

 

we dont want the same happening with whats left of fieldsports........do we???

 

and sticking together we must do.

 

all the best

None of this stuff about crminals should yet relate to us yet. A complete review on how to prevent crime is needed. To start with some parents need to be taught laws and morals then this may transfer into the kids. its no use if the thugs dad owns a unlicenced shotgun his son will take the same path. I hope some antis are reading this particular thread.

 

Sort out the root of the problems first. Does anyone know when the ban is going to be putt into place?

thanks for starting one!

 

i asked someone to when i posted this but it seemed nobody wanted to.

 

 

Hi Rob,

 

I didnt start it. It was by a guy on an other forum (the forum that gets a lot of stick from certain individuals on this forum ;) ).

 

I just figured that every shooter young, old, plinker or hunter (whatever forum they use) needs to work together and sign it and I promissed I would put the link up on a number of forums that I use including a forum that I created and manage.

 

So come on EVERYBODY sign it FOR ALL OUR SAKES

Just asking but at the top of the petition list it says BAN ALL AIRGUNS. im just wondering does this mean that if i sign i want to ban them!! thats what it looks like. If not count me in. I dont want to be tricked into sighnig a petition that says that i dont want airguns!

Someone pointed that out to me the petition is as follows:

 

The Calman Report recommends that The Scottish Parliament should be handed control of airgun legislation in Scotland. The Scottish Parliament will undoubtedly use this power to place a ban on unlicensed airguns in Scotland. This measure harms the legitimate sporting shooter and fails to address the real problem; that caused by unlawful use of airguns. Criminal use of airguns by its nature cannot be legislated against by removing airguns from those who abide by the law.

 

We believe that this ban will have an adverse effect on legitimate sporting shooting, and will provide no deterrent to those who misuse airguns.

The Labour Party's own 'Charter for Shooting' (2005) recognises there is no connection between legitimate sporting shooting and gun crime.

Airgun crime in Scotland has fallen according to the Gun Control Network's statistics from 1005 offences 15 years ago to 567 last year.

 

This new legislation would erode the civil liberties of sporting shooters in Scotland and fail to remove airguns from the hands of criminals.

 

We therefore petition you to refuse devolved power for Airgun legislation in Scotland.

 

I think the "ban all airguns" is just some anti trying to prevent us from signing! or some idiot with nothing better to do than hang around the petitions site and sign em in the hope of causing annoyance!

 

Every airgun shooter in the uk needs to sign this petition just so we can say "Leave us alone our hobby and sport should not be made illegal"
