Guest Spiris Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Here's a clip from the internet. I abhor the death of a child but this is typical liberal tactics. What do you think? Britain to tighten up air gun sales LONDON (Reuters) - Sales of air guns are to be restricted to registered dealers under regulations announced by the Home Office Thursday. Dealers will have to pay 150 pounds and prove to police they are fit to sell the weapons. The rule changes, part of an amendment to the Violent Crime Reduction Bill, also outlaws selling airguns by mail order or over the Internet as all sales must be face-to-face. Dealers selling airguns without registration will face up to five years in jail or an unlimited fine or both. The clampdown comes after the death of a two-year-old Scottish boy who was hit in the head by an airgun pellet in March. Mark Bonini, 27, was jailed for 13 years in August for firing the shot which killed toddler Andrew Morton as he watched a fire engine near his house in Glasgow. The new proposals outlined today would make suppliers accountable to the police and remove the anonymity of purchasers to deter impulsive purchases and irresponsible sales," said Home Office Minister Hazel Blears.

MorgansBoss Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Its not just airguns, check this out http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4581871.stm Heaven forbid, now that the britt's (almost) can't own guns they're using knives. Who'd of thought it? After knives are outlawed I guess sticks and stones will be next on the hit list until somebody with some sense realizes bad people hurt other people no matter what they have to do it with.

Doble Troble Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Eventually all excursions outside the home will have to be chaperoned by the police or other official government agent. Such excursions will have to be limited - there's only so many police for heaven's sake! Thankfully there are computers now and most people can work (and more importantly pay taxes) from home. It's for everyone's safety. And safety is important, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
