Firstly, this all kicked off with your statement that 5% of
people who have FAC's are unpleasant, objectionable and
potentially dangerous. It had nothing to do with those who
had applied and been refused or have in your view applied
for "spurious variations".
Steve posted the figures for denied renewals and revoked
cert's and it dosen't even approach 5%. Even if we
assume that every one of the 340 revocations and
refusals to renew were due to the reasons you state (and
many of them are not) the figure is just under 0.2%. This
again leads to the questions of a) if 5% of FAC holders
really are unpleasant, objectionable and potentially
dangerous then why are they not having their tickets
pulled and b) why aren't they actually being dangerous
with their guns? I mean 5% of 172,000 people is 8600
and if even 1% of them started acting dangerously we
would have certainly have heard about it by now, in fact
we wouldn't have any FAC's left to be arguing over.
