I dare say so . its a total farce as far as I'm concerned. no traceability and I can see why in relation to collectors that have a few hundred of so rifles. but there is nothing to stop a licensed person buying an unlicensed ned a rifle like what happens when underage kids want cigarettes or alcohol from the shop.
only a license holder with morals wont take the "£20 if you buy me an £40 B2 Mr"
its a money making scheme or a start towards a total ban like the handguns. only people that really need them will be allowed them for example pest control businesses .
