Why is section 58 a joke.

Guns that are being used will already be on License so they are not a problem.

People collect guns and have no intention of using them so they do not need an FAC to buy primers or blackpowder.

I have two old guns that are not fit to be fired and are only good as reatoration projects or wallhangers.

You seem to be adopting the politicians attitude that everyone is a criminal if they have a gun and need to be controlled.

Licensed shooters and collectors are NOT A THREAT TO SOCIETY.

The shooting times is not legislation.

I've just read through the Bill as it now is, after the committee stage, and can't find any reference to revisions to licence Antique weapons.

If I've missed it where in the bill is that referred please?

Have Fun

What’s the problem about having a licence to hold any Rifle of any sort?
You can still own them but have them on some sort of register,only someone with something to hide would object surely?

[Treebone]

I cant find any mention of antique and collectors firearms becoming licensed in the amended bill, maybe i missed but i did look twice

TB.

[harrysmith]

The main purpose of legislation and firearms law in this country is to take guns away from public use. Anyone who doesn't acknowledge this is kidding them-self.

So I take it that you do not have any antique guns and are not interested in firearms history.
If it was not for antiques a lot of people would not progress to licenced firearms

Anything with a barrel needs policing, Airgun FAC etc can’t see a problem with having some sort of licence,eventually the Gun crimes against pets etc will stop as all the chavs who buy cheap springers will be deterred by the thought of a prison sentence. Long term it’s the only answer.

Has airgun licensing stopped pets in Scotland being shot or stopped criminals having them ?

Nope. And it never will.

So toy guns should require a licence? They have barrels. What about pneumatic tools for tradesmen? They have barrels.
