I have been reading with some interest all of the information that as been emerging regarding the future licensing of airguns etc. It struck me that there may be a way that we could possibly have a slightly more positive effect but I dont know whether it would work.
The bad press is easy to find - the sensationalist newspapers make a meal of anything to do with airguns and it would seem that the writing is on the wall as far as licensing is concerned. However I think that most people these days when they want to find out about something that they are unsure of head straight over to google and do a search. So here is the challenge - could we make a thread on here and on other airgun forums entitled something like "dangerous airguns" (it would have to be short, simple and the keywords that we wanted) and then continually fill it with stories and anecdotes of safe, lawful and proper use of air rifles used in safe and regulated environments?? Wouldn't it be nice if the first thing folks found when they googled it was what we wanted them to read not what the antis wanted them to read??
Your thoughts?
