Luckily think how bad they would be if they were!
Murders of Nicola Hughes and Fiona Bone - Wikipedia
Banning things doesn’t uninvent them.
Thought you were going to post about social hand grenades - there’s a few of them on the forum 
2012 the murder of PC Hughes and PC Bone in Manchester. The perp used a hand-grenade and pistol during the attack.

They’ll have the fishing brigade on there backs if they try ban catapults aswell as hobbyists and the shooters and owners
What they gonna do ? Ban elastic next
Nah I think it’s time we forced the government to deal with crime instead of withdrawing everyone’s free will to own things for lawful means
Yes. I was also going to post that.
Can't ban pea shooters though as the Tories did that in 2020 finally banning all possession following their 1988 ban on the sale of such.
Blowpipes (also known as blowguns) are prohibited in the UK under the Thatcher led Conservative Government Criminal Justice Act 1988 (Offensive Weapons) Order 1988, which made it an offence to possess, manufacture, sell, or hire them.
Key Aspects of the Ban
- Definition: The ban applies to a "hollow tube that shoots hard pellets or darts using breath".
- Possession in Private: Since July 2021 the law passed by Boris Johnson's Conservative Government made it further illegal to possess a blowgun even in private, such as in your own home.
- Penalties: Possession can lead to up to six months in prison, a hefty fine, or both.
- Importation: The importation of blowpipes is banned.

So if I take a straw, put a ball bearing in it and blow down I’m liable to prison time ? What kind of logic is that
Or as we did as kids in the 1960s using the tubes from the then new fangled clear plastic "Bic" biro. The logic of the lunatic known as Margaret Thatcher. The same mad woman that banned pump action and self-loading centrefire rifles and introduced s1 controls on bolt action Marlin Goose Guns.So if I take a straw, put a ball bearing in it and blow down I’m liable to prison time ? What kind of logic is that

You know with all the knife crime and violence that occurs with unlawfully held firearms etc amongst what now seems to be IED’s
I keep wondering why the government and pre and successive constantly attack us lawful law abiding shooters by banning anything and everything
A Gov that wants to keep attacking the lawful citizens makes me highly suspicious
i had one as well but lord knows where it’s gone too
