Chief Constable Phil Gormley hailed the response to the three week campaign as "fantastic".

Scottish Justice Secretary Michael Matheson said the response to the amnesty was "extremely encouraging".
"The new licensing regime is not a ban on air weapons but a means of ensuring people can use air weapons in a regulated way without compromising public safety," he said.

Yes because before everyone was wandering around the streets shooting eachother wondering why there isn't a licence.


Dear Mr Matheson,

How is a piece of paper going to prevent an unlicensed air rifle from killing a toddler?

Yours sincerely,

You are an idiot.
The only reason why this law was eventually passed was because the Home Office devolved that part of the Firearms Acts concerned with air guns to the political small fry who currently run Scotland. Against all logic they just had to flex their muscles. I still believe the whole process will turn into a crock of shit which costs a fortune and makes those responsible look like idiots.
