Sorry buster mate, but the fatal was not under adult supervision - that is what contributed to the comedy of errors that resulted in the fatallity, in my mind? Notice there how i had not said 'responsible' - i deliberately ommited it because he most certainly was not!

 

Mind you, the adult in that case is a bout as useful as a chocolate tea-pot!

 

 

All the best,

Grim.

why the hell ban them surely if there is a way to control this ongoing problem they should just put a license on them, you have to have a liscense to have 1. and to buy one you have to have a license you cant buy anything for them with out a licence like a bullet gun.

i know it not the best sollution and i certainly dont want it to come to that but surely its far fkin better than banning them all together because that to be honest is a bit fkin harsh and as usual its a handfull of people who are spoiling it for air gunners and not so much for adults but for youngsters like myself and loads of other kids because people dont think sensible kids are capable or responsible enough to carry a air rifle while out hunting.

its stuped in my opinion....

[borak 1]

is it just me or when the government talk about banning something all of a sudden there are loads and loads of incedents that happen and all of them get massave television and newspaper publicity it just makes me sick to think that the governent are trying there damned hardest to control there public by any means they can the only thing that will happen if you ban airguns is that the people that use them leagally will hand them in and the god damn muppets that just use them for messing round with shooting peoples cats and so called "responsable" people that souldnt be trusted with a god damn supersoaker let alone a god damn airgun will carry on useing there airguns and the only ones to suffer will be us

 

sorry for the rant just makes me sick and sorry to say ashamed to be british

The Gun Control Network who are campaigning for air guns and all guns to be banned are on the offensive and have us airgunners in thier sights. The worst thing about this clueless bunch of morons is that THE GOVERNMENT fund them. They are nothing more than a propaganda department for ZanuLabour. Our tax money is being used to try and ban our sport :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored: Airgunners and all shooters need to stick together and get some kind of response to these cretins. I don't think they will stop till all guns are banned. Cheers for voting ppl :notworthy:

your winning now, id vote but dont know were i can say no..

[mole catcher 1]

how many people a year are killed by the actions of drunk or dangerous drivers, do they try to ban cars? no.

 

this kind of thing makes my blood boil, WHEN WILL THE DO GOODERS REALISE ITS THE ACTIONS OF PEOPLE THAT KILL, NOT THE BITS OF WOOD OR METAL THEM SELVES.

 

FECKING DO GOODERS ARE A FECKING NIGHTMARE, IF ITS NOT ONE THING ITS ANOTHER.

 

we only have one life, if were responcable we should be able to live it and not be bracketed by those who choose to live there lives in other ways.

[woodchip 2]

what they should ban is wankers owning air rifles .

if your only using a gun for plinking in the garden and you have children why not juse a bb gun ?

i personally have no problem with licencing my air rifle but how will that stop a knob of an adult /person of age shooting there kid or not being gun safe and leaving a loaded gun somewhere where a child can get a hold of it.

 

maybe the way to go might be to encourage people to attend gun saftey classes....

its the same every time good honest safety concious shooting men get tarred with the same brush as some moron who doesn,t give a toss about safety for himself & those around him ,so once again the action of idiots is seen as an excuse to make every law abiding citizen who owns an air pistol or rifle suffer

these kind of things are driven by freedom hating selfish nuerotics who want everyone else to change their lives in such a way as to assauge their irrational fear. it's the same irrational neurotic fear that drives all weapons bans and BSL and the actions of AR nuts. when looked at in a rational fashion, if someone really wanted to save more childrens lives, they'd ban 5 gal buckets and toilets as more children drown in them in a month than are killed by dangerous weapons or "dangerous" dogs in a year. you can't reason w/ such people. at best when you run into them in public and a discussion ensues you can by being polite, calm and correct drive them into an irrational emotional explosion that makes bystander aware of the fact they are nuts. this will help swing them to your side since you were the one remaining calm & rational. or you simply take it until you can't take it anymore and you start wasting the freedom hating pricks.
