Well said Fred or rightly said Fred.An interesting username you have Fred and and from an interesting location,too.
I always despair of my country,because these polititions seem to have no sense at all,in terms of their policies,especially relating to gun crime and prevention.
Also blank guns and cap-firing guns are legal to buy still,providing the buyer is a reenactor or involved with a media company,where the guns are used for rehersals and during filming.Trust me,it is alot of hassle just to buy them now,but they are still legal.

Understand this,please:You saw a movie showing the Royal family,now they do own real guns and the bans and restriction,were aimed at criminals and wannabee gangsta's.The Rude Boy or Yardie-style 'bad man' culture exists over here and you get kids acting like how Ice Cube,does in gangster movies.Spray and prey with a Mac10/11 or an Uzi and respect are,what these morons,like and so there's a mixture of this wanting to be gangstas culture,mixed with low-level crooks seeing a cheaper alternative,instead of buying an £800 Makarov or M10.
From the looks of things,this ban is now seen as a total and utter farce and a definate flap-up,as viewed by many UK shooters,of all disciplines.

No,not quite what I meant.I meant the Cap-Firing replicas made in Japan by Hudson-Marushin and others that look like airsoft guns,but fire special blank-cartridges,that contain a primer-charge of gun-powder-hence the term 'cap-firing' guns.
Replicas are still legal,without screening,but not in any realistic finishings or in any colours,except those specified in the VCR Bill 2006.Bright colours in a few finishes are only permitted,for those non-airsoft skirmishers,re-enactors and film people.

You mean the Plug Fire Cartridge/Cap (PFC) guns?
I've always heard them by that name.

Yes,absolutely spot on,my friend and guess what,I know a site where you can buy them from and the guy selling them,isn't quite as strict as he should be-as expected to be from the Home Office.He is called Jay and he has some outstanding beauties,that I've been eyeing up lately.Want a weblink and by the way are you going to be a reenactor or a film rep,soon?

I was going to join a UKASGB Airsoft site sometime in the next three months or so. The law gives a defense to us, but doesn't restrict us to just Airsoft "RIFs".
Mind you, I am part of the local amateur theatre. We use replicas and bnak firers all the time. Think that'd do?

Well firstly,I think that out of the two that I know of,Jay who runs Model Guns,is a reasonable bloke and he won't ask for too much(Drivers license and perhaps a letterhead.) but the other one,who runs Model Gun Collector,will ask you for a payslip or a cheque from your theatre group.Oh and by the way,I'm not kidding you either and so I'm having to find the time to join a battle reenactment group and to try and join a theatre group and get in with them.All this for a M1911A1 and a 1935 HI-Power.

Excuse me,I'ts British food and not English food and secondly there's no such thing as 'English' food,because the same food is eaten over the entire UK mainland,including Scotland and Wales,whom both have wonderful culinary delights.Well except for mustard,but it is a national sauce.
Most Europeans,except for the French mainly,enjoy British food.The Germans and Dutch,love our fish and chips,savaloys and full-breakfasts,from our diners(Cafes).This goes for their truckers too.Even Americans,like the hot,yellow mustard,with some steak and also the full-breakfasts,too.So your wrong about English food and also you are insulting the Scots,Welsh and Irish,too,because they eat similar foods,to the English.I know because I have Scottish and Irish people,related to me.
If Hamburgers,hotdogs and other related things came from Central and Eastern Europe,then some foods in the USA,came from the UK,as British people settled over there.Your president's family came from my country and he loves our traditional food,too.He has eaten well with Tony Blair and the Queen.
By the way,what has your comments got to do with our insane gun law policies?Doesn't it make you foolish,to belittle my country's traditional,cultural cusines?
Saying that policies totally suck,is one thing,but to turn your nose up at British cuisine,is another thing and is irrelevent to this post.

Normally such an off-topic post would disappear. In this case, however, the results are too funny not to remain public.

I agree and I think that I've set this person right,by giving them what for.It's sad when someone goes off-topic like this.Reading it now,post,by post, has made me laugh,hahaha.
Now back to the post:A company called Frontline Armouries,makes replica weaponry that is Home Office approved and they fire blanks and have fully-auto functions,too.Now restrictions on foreign imports,VCR Bill and this is approved-all in the name of crime reduction and politics.It's sad that it has come to this mess and the liberals are welcoming these Socialistic policies,because they are scared of us,hurting each other.What a mad country,that I live in.
If these blank guns that are built by Frontline, are okay,then why not modify the Umarex brands on a mass scale?They will only fall into the hands of genuine person.As for the bright colour scheme,any skilled person or any fool,could paint it black and hold up a bank with it and the clerks and managers,wouldn't know the difference.
Sterling180,
No disrespect to the british people who I love, I didn't mean to insult our neigbours with my statement, just wanted to give you my opinion regarding british cuisine (thanks for correcting me).
I should say that we don't like british food instead of declaring it as disgusting.
So pls. accept my apologies.
There's an exception to that, english breakfast (so they say in England) is excellent and I enjoy breakfast everytime I went the other side of the pond.
As for lunch and diner, I'd rather go to chinese or indian restaurants.
My opinion is shared by the vast majority of my country men.
I also agree that I went completely off topic.
Again sorry for my mistake.
BTW, you mentioned that british mustard is an exception to your culinary delights, well I have to admit that I appreciate Colman's mustard, it's much better than the best french mustard I know of.
Go figure.

Currently British cuisine is curries. We can't get enough of the stuff.
Traditional British food is things like big roasts of meat with vegetables and a sauce on the side, savoury (meat) pies and just about anything that swims (eg smoked salmon, Dover Sole). A lot of people don't realise that the kind of food found in Sizzler is mostly based on British standards. One of the reasons people forget it's a British dish is because it's so simple with no obvious spices or sauce. It's the lack of sauce is a defining characteristic. Ruin a good steak with slimey sauce and it's French cooking.
“In England there are sixty different religions, and only one sauce."
Domenico Caracciolo, 18th Century French dude
Of course the lack of spices is the reason it can be so revolting. Dry meat with overcooked vegetables and some brown 'gravy' on it is the default bad cooking over here. When it's well done, I think it's fantastic. A rack of lamb with roast potatos & fresh vegetables is my favourite meal. Grilled Salmon fillets are delicious.
I'll make no comment on the American habit of copying other people's recipes and forgetting they didn't invent it. *Ahem*
I'd advise you not to criticise sausage rolls. I know where you live. All of you.

No,don't worry about it,I had a feeling that you didn't mean this(After I posted.),as any forms of abuse,racial or normal-aren't tolerated here.But there are people out there who dislike the Brits or just the English and would offend them,due to political and historical actions.It's these persons that I would flame grill,like a double-whapper burger.Oh and by the way pease pudding and jellied eels aren't to everyones liking.So we can call this disguisting cusine.
If only our gun laws were as popular as curries and the big breakfasts.

12 year old child returning to England from Florida in floods of tears at security point.Why ? the security guard said "his GI joe was carrying a gun"it was 2 inches long and made from bendy plastic but it obviously caused a security issue.
How things have changed. Back when I was a lad, British cops -- Scots, Welsh, Irish, English, it didn't matter -- were renowned all over Europe as the best shots AND the best cooks. As I recall, recruits weren't even allowed to fill out the paperwork, let alone get fitted for the hobnailed boots, until they could pan-fry five pounds of pork sausages and shoot three hostages in under seven minutes.
And another thing. They're not all called Bobby, and they never were. My dad was one, and his name was John, and so was my Uncle Arthur, whose name was Arthur. It took my dad forever to get on. By the time he "assumed the helmet" we had a pile of hostages and sausage wrappers eighteen feet high in the back yard. Try THAT in 1992, or whatever year it is now.

Considering I'm originally from a city that reveres the deep-fried Mars Bar, I dispute that. Or prove it. I'm not sure.
Now who's for a nice plate of tripe boiled in milk?

Ah, my local force in the news. What they don't mention is that many of the 'guns' they seize are toys, cigarette lighters, pot-metal replicas and so on.
I can't tell you how sinister I find it that a plastic toy is seen as being as potentially dangerous as a badly made subgun.
Best thing I've read in weeks.
