I agree . using what happened up here is not the same as the Ben Wragge case . And the english government then using what we have here is also not ideal given that macaskill was going to implement it no matter what proof was given from the relevant sources including police scotland who did not agree with it either .
As Terry Doe informed me in a post a while back, The scottish scheme i costing way more money than its bringing in .
I paid £5 for mine due to having an FAC and SGC , And lets not forget that up here it is not the firearms office that does the license ,Its a whole new department . it may not stay that way mind you but that is going to cost a lot of money to set up and run . will the Fees (£79 for a airgun license unless you own an FAC or SGC then its £5) cover these costs?
But then the governments don't care about wasting money
