We had a thread like this recently, where the seller only had a photocopy of his FAC. Massive consensus was don't even think about it. Purchase of an unregistered firearm will certainly cost you your FAC forever, and could get you banged up. I mean come on! He can't find his FAC? Where has he been buying ammo - without his FAC? Tell him that if and when he finds his FAC you will go into the deal, and NOT before. Ric

Steve - The point I am trying to make is that religious extremism of any type, not only Islam, is invariably malign. As for how many Christians would support such behaviour, take a look at Edd Wiltshire's post. I take as read that very few Christians in this country, apart from the Fundamentalist Evangelist bunch, would endorse it for one moment, but there a lot of breeds of Christian! In fact, I think that your views and mine are pretty close. Israel's Government is dominated by fundamentalist Orthodox Judaism, and Hamas by fundamentalist Islam. So they are locked in pointless wasfare while

Interesting Ric,but does the bible/christian faith condone this behaviour? Individual nutters come in all faiths[and atheism] but the islamic religion actually condones bad treatement of women,beating,stoning,marrying children,the list goes on. Thats the difference,funny how the most PC bunch of twats ever[labour]promote a faith/culture of oppression,calling for us to accept it? Your point isnt a very good one mate is it. Steve - The pastor of the local branch of their mad church agreed that they were justified because the little gal was POSSESSED BY THE DEVIL. I agree that the mullahs

For once I'm not stirring, or only a bit. Remember Victoria Climbie? Beautiful little black girl. She was starved and beaten to death by her aunt and her boyfriend. Died tied up on a binbag in the bath. The aunt and boyfriend were Evangelical Christians, members of a raving mad Biblical literalist fundamentalist African Church. Ric.

Just to add Home Office advice to FEOs states that long mag shotguns are FAC and should only be granted for control of flocking pigeons and/or corvids which are damaging crops. That is advice not law but seems to be the way most FEOs go. Ric

They'd obviously cold-welded it! Ric

Unmitigated bollox. Even in the unlikely event of a Burka/Niqab wearing woman going round a supermarket there is no way she would make comments such as you suggest. You have been asked before and I ask you again. Just where do you originate? Your use of English makes it clear that you are from the Indian sub-continent. Why should we get involved in your Hindu/Muslim conflict? We have problems of our own. Don't try to make us fight your battles Gunga Din. Ric

I see what you did there Ric! Swampy vasaline ning I wondered who'd spot it. You have a very dirty mind!

Try your local market! Ric

Coppers who get banged up always have a rough ride. Boo-hoo. Ric

Why? I've googled Montana and all I can find is that they make top-line actions, in all sorts of calibres. I found one that is made in .473 and .534, but surely NRA shoot .50 BMG? Tell us more! Ric

I've just now looked up "by-laws" According to Wikipedia, they can be passed by councils and certain statutory bodies, including airport authorities, utility companies, transport companies and supervisory bodies, which are empowered by Act of Parliament. They must be approved by a Secretary of State. When in force, a breach of a by-law is a criminal offence, to be tried in a Magistrate's Court. Penalties are fines of up to £2500. Their principal purpose is to prevent danger or nuisance to others. BWB's by-laws were passed in 1965. Although their by-laws refer to "canals", the introduction to

Ha! If voting changed anything they'd ban it. Ric

Well chaps and chapesses, times are getting interesting. The BNP have to go back to court in March for a decision on whether their vote in the EGM will allow them to be no longer classed as a racist organisation, and thus able to claim funding. If they can't they are f**ed up all over the landscape The polls are looking more and more like the general election will result in a hung Parliament, with the Tories trying to run a minority government. Do any of youse guys imagine that Cameron will try to repeal the Hunting Act in that case? Ho ho it is to joke. It ain't over til the fat lady

The thing is, as Deker has said, there is a difference between national law and local by-laws. I am going to wrap all my correspondence with BWB on a PDF and forward it to Sporting Shooter. I think this needs to be sorted out by BASC and SACS Ric
-
Bad news I fear. BWB have statutory power to make their own by-laws, and by-law N0 46 reads:- "It is an offence to throw, shoot, or otherwise propel any stone, shot, bullet or other missile from, into, or over any vessel or canal." So you cannot shoot from a boat, and you cannot shoot over the waterway even if you own the land on both sides. Lakes, reservoirs, salt marshes etc fall under different legislation. RicW

When my wife says "I'm still the woman you married." I get the urge to say "There's about 5 stone of you that wasn't in the registry office"

Amazing! If he says he wants it doggy style you get on all fours and keep quiet! The worrying thing is that this kind of male dominated claptrap was still being put out as normal even into the sixties. Ric

Just to be a little different, listen to Gay Bikers on Acid. On acid! Ric

He should be slung out of the police, banned from ever owning an animal again and hit with a big fine. As of now, I'll bet he gets a slap on the wrist and walks free. "Oh I'm sorry yer honour I didn't mean to."

And yet another point to add. . . .You ask "Is this fair". No it isn't fair but what we all have to learn is that life isn't fair. Seriously, luv, life is not fair. You just have to learn to get along with what the cards of life deal out. I'm a cynical old sod and I realised long ago that life owes me nothing. Ric

Georgia - Some comments from me as a silly old person . . . First and most important, ignore all the twunts who advocate violence against the gel who kicked off, or against anyone else. All you will do if you follow their advice is get yourself a criminal record. How much support do you have from your parents? I think you have a good case against the school, so send a letter to your LEA complaining about victimisation. I will be happy to put a letter together if it will help. Ric

Labour's reply on the repeal the hunting ban petition
RicW replied to mushroom's topic in General Talk
Labour made it a class war act. The way they put it over was that a bunch of Hooray Henries and Henriettas got their jollies from seeing an animal torn to death. Oh hoh, ya di dah, let's have a G & T. They are now trying to set it up as a class issue again. I'm sorry pipple but if you think Cameron will rescind the Hunting Act you are living on the wrong planet. Ric -
