OK. I'll risk the hate mail and say that I tend agree with some at least of
what IG says! Is there anyone out there who hasn't looked around the
firing point and thought " Now how the hell did he/she ever get a
certificate?"
Fortunately none of us are privy to the particular peculiarities of some of
our fellow shooters which might or might not disqualify them from firearms
ownership but for society at large these matters are of some interest
and we do ourselves no favours by adopting the 'any kind of gun for
absolutely anyone' attitude that some subscribers seem to favour.
Anyway, I thought that the main point many of us were trying to make was
that it was precisely the person who should be subject to the controls and
not the gun? Surely it makes more sense to base the decision to issue a
certificate on the 'suitability's for want of a better word of the applicant
than on some nonsense about
dangerous' firearms. The difficulty comes, of course, from the criteria
used to determine used to who is and who is not 'suitable' but it ought to
be possible to create a better framework of laws around that idea than the
present load of crap.
