North Yorks Police mission statement is to make their patch the safest place in Britain.
This is clearly a big step in that direction.
I was about to ask where the OP had this info from, then I looked on here: http://www.steyr-uk.co.uk/
From the horse's mouth, so to speak.
What happens to people who've previously bought one in good faith, and what about the 5 SA rifle & carbine?
What a mess...

So have North Yorks Police broken ranks with The Home Office ,ACPO and the CPS?
Or have those three changed their stance/advice on the issue?
If its against the law and they can find someone to prosecute then its a done deal. Hopefully this will go to court and the "defence" provided by the home office can be used and we will finally have a precedent and closure on the whole issue.
Courts never look favourably on section five weapons though.

I bet those who have the semi automatic rifle a bricking it.
You can spend thousands and still miss a barn door or spend just enough and enjoy yourself. If you haven't got the talent to start with a million pound won't fix it. Whippet, Russell, a few bang sticks and a flat cap. http://www.smart-tech1st.co.uk
i think that the writing is on the wall the SA air weapon is doomed

To be fair it was never a debate and it was doomed (read section 5) many years ago.
A little while ago a few people wailed and gnashed teeth saying it wasn't fair and they should be allowed to have one anyway. That was never the case, but a few gullible people fell for it.
This may change, but don't hold your breath.
