i don't believe that should be the case either. but some things in life are unobtainable for many reasons, e.g logistically, financially.
yea, sadly no matter the controls there will always be those that manage to carry out these atrocities. all we can do is make it as difficult as possible for them.
genuine question, how do gun shops manage it? they also carry ammunition so i presume they are even more of a prime target for thieves.
His mother supposedly begged the police and NHS to get him mental health help, if this turns out to be true then we need a serious investigation into firearms licence protocols
Dunno, I expect they have similar problems. Maybe one massive walk in safe, like banks? Also tracking devices on the unsold guns that aren't easily removed? They could also remove parts of the guns that make them useless until sold.
so probably not an insurmountable task to make gun clubs secure holding premises for leisure use firearms, though i'd assume most already have secure storage facilities but i'm just guessing at that.
why not?
It depends really, I have no idea I'm speculating. I doubt the techniques they use are public either for obvious reasons. However for a tracking device to be used as a deterrent it would have to be difficult to remove/attach, otherwise it'd be easy to just break it off. So having to do that every weekend you go shooting would be a PITA.
as i've said previously, convenience shouldn't be a consideration for firearms ownership. it should be a pain in the **** to get the guns out to go do a bit of shooting at the weekend. i imagine plenty of other weekend activities involve a much higher level of hassle to sort before enjoying it.
gun stores robberies do appear a rare occurrence which would lead me to think the logistics of gun club storage may not be as prohibitive as some might think. of course i could be wrong. but i don't think it should be poo poo'd as an idea just because it would be a bit more faff for an owner.
ah ok. i thought we were just discussing possible amendments to gun ownership in an off hand sort of way. perhaps you need to do the same given your opinion below?!
What do you want from me? You think there should be hindrances for people to use their guns legally for sport. I don't really care for changing your mind. If you care that strongly about it, then write to your MP about it.ah ok. i thought we were just discussing possible amendments to gun ownership in an off hand sort of way. perhaps you need to do the same given your opinion below?!
