    Add to that the fact you can order a whole air rifle from outside the UK and it can legally be posted to your door!

    It’s almost as if laws are made just to punish UK businesses.

    I don't think it's legal, just strictly not illegal (Yet)

    When the VCR act came into being, the tinternet was in it's infancy.
    I don't think they ever anticipated what folk would be able to do on a computer or phone.

    Still a bit surprised they haven't closed that loophole yet

    It’s not a loophole, the restriction is on the seller not the buyer. It would require an entirely new law to be passed that would likely have to include secondhand items.
