If some of the idiots that use the facebook groups have responded then I hope they did not go overboard .I know one that was on the No to the scottish airgun licensing one and he said he would shoot the police if they came to take his guns . He was not going to licence his either . From my cold dead hands he said
There is others on these pages that will openly shoot birds that are not on the general licence or try to shoot rabbits with pistols (there was one on another forum that was banned for posting threads about it ) .
These people can do as much harm when they start misquoting thing then send then to the consultation .
I seriously hope the views from shooter's were factual and not full of bull .
There's morons in all walks of life and hobbies. I also fish and have met some right numpties in my time. They have always existed, always will and will always be a minority and shouldn't be allowed to ruin things for the majority. In the past, you'd meet these folk face to face and could look them in the eye and tell them they're full of s**t. Now in the world of social media, they become keyboard warriors and post utter carp for the world to see. But they're still a minority and one can only hope karma comes and gets them.
By stricter storage rules, I mean I suspect the existing laws will be re-written and increased to specify certain storage criteria such as trigger locks or locked storage cabinets or cupboards. In reality, I have no idea what they're going to recommend but all the government comments and the replies some of us have had from the HO, the questions asked in the extended review and the things the Lord's were saying - the issue of storage is brought up far more than anything else and seems to be the way this is heading. But who knows what these self righteous, know it all politicians will suggest to make the world a safer place
