silly fuckers !! they are not toys , to many incidents like this the ban happy squad will be out

[john b 38]

As you say. Not good news.

[Guest The Shaman]

Whether it was a prank gone wrong, or just larking around it's another nail in the coffin for us airgunners.

[Guest Frank]

All shooters i would say.

 

Its very sad, if this keeps up, it wil be like what Chilli has said.

 

Frank.

[Guest Macnas]

Oh for christs sake.

 

The louts who did it will be let off as they are minors, and every law-abiding airgun/gun owner will be punished.

 

Funny how the detective inspector quoted in the article is calling them "air weapons". I thought they were called airguns or air rifles.

[Guest Frank]

Very true, any chance they get, its deemed as a weapon. Wont be surprised if the whole lot will be licenced in the UK, like it is over here in southern Ireland.

the wheels are already in motion for licencing air roffles in the uk.

 

they startedit when that junky shot the 2yr old boy in easterhouse

[Guest Frank]

So this means, this is the icing on the cake for them.

According to the papers today , they were mates larking about we all did stupid stuff ( i still do it now ) when we were younger . The lads who killed there mate will have a cloud over them for the rest of there lives . The one thing they dont teach at schools that they should is common sense if you get what i mean .

just another nail in the coffin for the shooting fraternaty , never nice when someone gets injured ,just gives the anti gun loby more to fire at the law abiding gun owner , just recently near where i live a lady was shot with an airgun when in her garden

The sooner airguns are taken off of stupid kids the better, i,m fecking sick of airgun crime being classed as " gun crime" and then used to beat up all the rest of the genuine careful gun using public.I,ve changed my opinion over the last few years, i,m all for airgun licensing, removal of the power limit, secure storage, and no club, no land, no gun.Yes its harsh, but kids should not be out with todays weapons on their own, unsupervised, they are not the meteors and gat,s we used, they are lethal weapons.We wont put our own house in order, you can be damned sure the government will do it for us, and it wont be to our advantage.Before the flak starts, i,ve used airguns for the past 35 years.
