Mark_mjs93 164 Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Seen this plastered all over the news at the moment. A lot of places touting it as an airgun attack. No way in hell its an airgun with the amount of shot in the things! Frustrating to see the misinformation being put out but no surprise really. Can't get me head round why some muppet would shoot em anyway! Not to mention dump them in the way they have for people to find, it's just fuel for antis! Makes us all look bad and in the current climate as well. With the publicity this is getting... We will see airgun licensing sooner rather than later. Utter Twats. Rant over...

cragman 2,791 Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 First thing they shout for is more regulation on owning an airgun, it’s the easy way out. That’s not going to stop this kind of thing. How about catching those responsible? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
