    I doubt the police would have the time , resources or inclination for any licensing.

    What would be the benefit of it anyway.

    Cyclists now that’s another matter.

    They didn't in Scotland either, but that made no difference.

    Just wait until there's an Incident where some kid gets seriously hurt; they'll suggest it then and also come out with some Statistics from Scotland showing what a great improvement it has made to safety up here. It won't matter a damn if it's all lies; they are politicians after all! Mark my words, England will follow Scotland again!

    Or maybe we ( the powers ) will learn a lesson from Scotland ?

    The population difference is enormous .

    This sheds a bit more light on current machinations in the direction of an Offensive Weapons Bill 2.0. If it gets any traction we could be seeing a Scottish style system applied in England and Wales - joy.

    The police don't want it but it appeases the Karens and Kyles that do, and will vote for it. Also, registration with payment = revenue for the exchequer, just what's needed right now after a monster giveaway.

    Start writing to your MP to prevent it even gaining traction.

    There have been rumours of either an airgun ban or a registration system every other year since the mid 90's
