They've not made things pubic yet, but they're keen to scrap Section 2 & move all shotguns onto FACFor sub12 rifles?
It seems that they have also been dropping big hints at licensing airguns - maybe like the AWC in Scotland, or maybe like Ulster where they're all on FAC
Logic, common sense and UK legislation are rarely used together...
Just saw a BASC post online about their meeting with a .gov minister & their hints at NOT joining S2 & S1 categories.
It's something they've been keen on for a LONG time, esp. since the AWC became a thing - though for some reality check, seek out the 1973 Green Paper. Seen as a joke for years but the plans it contained were slowly brought into law, killing off a lot of legitimate sporting pursuits.
