Yet this utter rubbish is not disappearing in the bonfire of eu red tape for some very strange reason
Thoughts on BASC's new stance on Police Firearms Licensing Departments!

It will not disappear when our shooting organisations are using it to justify their own agenda.
Continuous monitoring by GP’s via marker on record tripping red flag police response!
That only works assuming you actually are able to get a GP appointment, then the fit firearms owners may have no need to see a GP for several years, to-date I am fortunate to count myself as fit.
Makes it sound like as firearms owners we have monthly GP appointments.
Its just PR crap to fall the general public and make the Home Office look good, oh and yes cover the Chief Constables backside.

10 out of 10 for observation, 0 out of 10 for not understanding that Brexit didn't mean the end of EU influence!

That's because EU REACH was replaced by UK REACH, in effect the same thing!

I couldn't agree more, in fact many of the S1 controls are PR, to give just a couple of examples does anyone seriously believe that things like restrictions on the quantities of ammunition held are enforceable, and what about sound moderators being classed as a firearm?
If there were no controls, would it not be easier E.G. to obtain a moderator for a criminal - I wouldnt know but it seems likely ? Obviously they can steal one but being in possession of just that part would not otherwise be an offence?

The type of firearms used by criminals, don't usually include the need for the type of mods that we use.
Plus, it's not hard to make a crude mod.
I'm not saying they don't need some control, probably along the lines of powder and primers, but needed a slot or variation to change mods, or replace a damaged one is daft.
BASC said they would fight to get this changed, they did nothing.

Making a mockery of the promises told to us at Brexit
