Hey Vlad! Where have you gone?:confused: Has the newsdesk put you on another story?:D

This is a real example. I've been a target shooter for years here in England. I currently own the following firearms which are all individually listed by make, model, type, caliber and serial number on my Police Issued Firearm Certificate:FOR TARGET SHOOTING ON APPROVED RANGES ONLY...

Hi Vlad You said in post 47 that : the crime rate rather than going up with the banning of handguns actually did quite the reverse, illustrating that removing the means of protection did not cause a huge upswing in crime You go on in another post to claim to me that you did not mention the...

And what did the Firearms Ammendment Act of 1997 have to do with ' the removal of the means of protection'? It simply reclassified sporting Section 1 handguns as Section 5 1 aba prohibited weapons. Self defence has not been accepted as a valid reason for possessing firearms in the UK for over 50...

Hi Vlad Fellow forum member petrel800 has saved me the trouble and provided some links that seemingly make me right and you wrong. And that is a fact ! Violent crime (and yes that includes the criminal use of firearms) is up. Now (and this is my third request) how about being a...

Re sacrificing liberty for security. Here is a thought. A famous man once said ; " If you sacrifice liberty for security you end up with neither. "

Hi Supressors, or moderators as they are commonly called in the UK are now almost de rigeur for health and safety reasons. They are classed as firearms and you must specify a 'good reason' and they must be entered on your licence if used on rimfire or centrefire rifles but are freely available...

Its late over this side of the Atlantic. Me thinks Vlad may have retired for the night. I hope he remembered to lock his door! Anyway I'm looking forward to hearing more from Vlad and fingers crossed I'll get an invite to one of his parties!

Home Office Statistics are government statistics and are unreliable. Fact.They change the goalposts with reference to how crimes are recorded and grouped on an annual basis. Fact. Police Officers are encouraged to show multiple clear ups when technically only one crime has been committed in...

Fellow firearm owners Stateside. Please do not lump all us Brits together on the basis of the article written in the filthy rag (that purports to be a newspaper) that is the Daily Mail. I having been speaking to journalists all day about yesterdays tragic events. THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN THE...

Vlad the Impaler. It is nice to see you exercising that most basic and fundemental of human rights namely the right to be wrong. It is a fact that armed crime in the UK has gone up since handguns were banned in 1997. You cite Home Office statistics? Do you really believe them. Have you...

G'day Again for the record: Handguns are NOT banned in Australia. You can not however, as a sports shooter have anything over.38/9mm in calibre unless you are a Cowboy Action shooter or shoot long range pistol. Revolvers must have a minimum 4" barrel length and self loading pistols a 5"...

Just for the record: The media here in the UK ( I am so disillusioned I don't call my homeland Great Britian anymore) are highly anti gun. They accurately reflect the Government and Police view that private citizens should not have access to firearms. We cannot be trusted they believe. That's...

A true hero. Rest in Peace.
