Mail Order of Airguns Ends.

[rhysduk]

As you may be aware, from October 1st 2007, a legislation has been passed banning the purchase of airguns thorugh mail order. As from this date airguns will only be sold on a face-to-face basis.

This legislation does not effect airgun accessories, only airguns themselves. You will still be able to purchase airgun accessories (pellets, lamps etc) from an online retailer as you would do normally.

You can read about the VCR (Violent Crime Reduction) Act here.
For a further breakdown and explanation, visit the Gun Trade Association website.

What will happen now will we see a lot more gun fairs from our favourite gun mail order companies? For give my dumbness but its going to be a horrible state of affairs and can see this snowballing what are we to do to stop our sport being ruined.

The VCR Bill is going to reduce the number of Air Guns on the UK
Market Place

Yes it will harm to Sport and UK Maufactures

But there is nothing anyone can do............

As Air Gun's are easy Targets in today's world
Make good Local & National Press when a idiot play's around with a
Air Gun in Public or Shoots @ anyone

The Nation has been primed that All Gun's in Citizens Hands are Bad

No so called Socialist Goverments likes it Citizens to own Fire Arms
