Usual dancing round the topic, attempts to distract and obfuscate 'The poll wasn't worded correctly, so it doesn't count' , a little like Brexit 'You didn't know what you were voting for! ' Shooting people would have more respect for BASC if they were more transparent, and above all, truthful...

Indeed, if 'non toxic' is just as good, why are there dispensations for police, military and 'elite' shooters to continue using this terrible poison ?

BASC PROPOSED a voluntary 'transition' on the discontinued use of lead shot for live quarry, without consulting its membership. Within a year, Gov.UK started consultantations on a ban for all lead projectiles.... Coincidence? You yourself said lead shot should be taken out of circulation, to...

Q. How has BASC opposed the 2029 lead restrictions ? A. It hasn't. Many BASC announcements doubled down on the message that lead needed to be phased out, because it was soooo toxic. They opened the door, and invited it in. BASCs legacy will be remembered for killing off shooting. Why are the...

Thank you, I did read it first, and any deaths that occurred were apparently bacterial, but lead levels in some supplies were 7 x the 'safe levels' which I found interesting, because we are told there is no safe level. Either way, the people of Flint got extra leaded water, and no one seemed to...

So you are agreeing that lead is NOT 'One of the most toxic substances out there' ? Why would you say it in the first place ? I wouldnt worry about it, Greta and Mr Gore have told us this is the 'last generation' so we only have about 80 years to go anyway before the seas boil. And its...

That statement, is just ridiculously inaccurate. If lead were so toxic, the first port of call would to replace ALL lead water pipes in the UK, ban avgas for light aircraft, strip church roofs and old house flashings and any other application where lead was involved. But we are not, instead we...

Absolutely. He didnt like the country he was born in, so he emigrated. You would think he and his family would have made an effort to learn the language for a start ? And if he truly embraced the values of his 'new' country, the ultimate test is, would you fight for it ? Would our migrants...

For the most part, these type of firearms (and all your pistol calibres) would be used on ranges where the lead is recoverable, so technically, not part of the ban, and you would be right, these calibres just wouldnt work in copper.... The issue is some outdoor ranges could fall foul of the...

Absolutely, we are being lined up for this.... Theres no good evidence that the lead ban for fowling is being ignored, so when it comes to this imaginary massive market for non lead shot game meat *, the powers that be will produce evidence that we are ignoring the impending ban now. Just...

The 'real' science has been done to death, its not a good idea for humans to ingest lead...Or copper, or steel, bismuth or plastic. The lead ban appears to predominantly swayed by the effect it has on the wild bird population, or more importantly, the theoretical effect, because a tiny sample of...

Just don't offer a differing opinion, or offer any criticism, or we'll label you an anti. WE will decide what direction field sports go in, we don't need your input. Just pay your subscription, keep your mouth shut, and tow the BASC council line. You are too stupid and insignificant to matter...

Literally no one has said that ! What is does do is reduce the pool of active shooters and licence holders, and the less shooters, the easiest it is to drown out their protests when it comes to further more restrictive legislation. Ive introduced and mentored dozens of people to the various...

Ridiculous statement. Did stagnation lead to the handgun ban, or the semi auto centerfire ban ? Has stagnation lead to the lead ban ? The lead ban leads directly to banning the ammunition that firearms were designed to use.

OK swap dog for wife, or one of your kids, try sucking that one up instead ? The analogy is pretty clear, we trusted BASC et al, and they didnt fight one iota against the lead ban, now were told to just suck it up its happening. You pay for the privilege of this, I wont be.
