What then happens to those people who already HAVE such a pistol, or, like me, its predecessor?

There wasn't a problem with SA air for 17 years - no one cared.
This whole thing started a couple of years ago when people started demanding clarification of the Home Office. And now we're in the uncertain position we're in today.
My advice is - stop poking that hornets nest with a stick, you might not like what comes out of it.
Keep your head down and hope this blows over, writing to the HO is only going to raise the profile of something that was previously thought to be insignificant.
its hardly insignificant to steyr uk though or people that have them at home at present who could then be up on section 5 firearm charges if the police want to get a conviction .
the fact one police force has confiscated them, is it better not to get the situation sorted once and for all?
I wonder how many brocock or any other TACs and BACs air pistols or air rifles is out there and the owners not knowing they are prohibited? the same can be said for people with the steyr pistols .
I for one would rather know I'm not a possible unlicensed fire arm owner.
the hornets nest has been poked already .
