Just the usual stuff he churns out - unfortunately he advises the various committees that make and enforce the law.

The BBC have been running articles during the news today on the consultation - which ends today - presumably someone in the 'anti' camp has tipped them off that there's been some representation from the shooting community.. 8-)

Should the shooting community petition the Home Office to use "Khan Consultation Tactics" - and ignore all those against shooting.

Joking aside, opinions of those with actual knowledge of shooting should probably carry more weight than those who don't. But that would never happen of course.

Given that the GCN (all three of them) are given equal footing during inquiries/consultations as the likes of BASC, I wouldn't hold your breath for that! :bad:

That really pi$$es me off. Three people with absolutely no knowledge of firearms whatsoever, other than what they see on the TV or in films, are given more credence than a panel of actual firearms experts who actually know something about guns.
I have seen films on the TV in which a .308 rifle with a "Silencer" on it makes less noise than a moderated .22rf using subsonic ammo. I think this was the original reason it was so difficult to get full-bore moderators years ago.
Gill Marshall-Andrews, wife of ex labour MP Bob Marshall-Andrews who himself was completely anti gun owning and the reason why she had so much influence in parliament.
Her and two other anti gun owning muppets, who simply hate shooting sports and can get almost every labour MP to take their side in a gun ownership debate.
They know everything and the experts know nothing..........
I remember a while after Dunblane when a senior police officer came onto "BBC Midlands Today", and held up a beaten-up old .177 air rifle with a scope attached. He pointed out the "High magnification" scope which as graduated to 1000yds.
"This rifle can shoot out to 1000yds", he stated, "And you don't need a licence to buy it".
"Oh that's unbelievable", said the interviewer, looking suitably shocked.
And of course most of the gullible viewing public believed it.
Never argue with an idiot, he will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
