Where did you used to buy your guns and pellets in the 60s-70s ?
I spent my young days in my home town of Ebbw Vale bought my first airgun from the indoor market there a Diana g16 the mid 60s but the local haye merchant "Brutens" used to sell airguns along with Hornby and Triang trains
it was a real Aladdins cave and there were also a couple of hardware and cycle shops that sold pellets ,our nearest proper gunshop used to be in Abergavenny .
We used to used a box of 500 in a weekend of plinking ,when I started work my first big gun was a Relum break barrell and among my collection I still have both of them .

a gun is just a tool how its used is dependant on the person behind the trigger .
This is why constant restrictions on legal users will have no effect on the unlawfull use of guns or knives !
