[John quoting someone else]
>>ACPO (EnglandWales) Appendix 2 Sect 23 .."the police accept the reason of
>>competitive marksmanship in relation to target shooting but do not accept
>>the need for practical shooting disciplines of simulated military or law
>>enforcement techniques which involve unorthodox positions or firing from
>>vehicles".
I see. They seem to believe that if one shoots in practical disciplines
or one shoots at humanoid targets, one is going to shoot at humans.
What's their view on Rambo films, the A-team, Nintendo, Playstation etc.
Did none of them play 'Cowboys and Indians'? (No, they played 'cops and
robbers' :-)
>>ACPO Scots Apdx 4.. "It is also recommended that consideration be given to
>>target shooting disciplines. At the present time regardless of whatever
>>controls are placed on firearms, the intent of the legislation is
>>circumvented by the introduction of new shooting disciplines using existing
>>firearms".
The "intent [and limit] of the legislation" was to take our pistols from
us.
>"It is also ACPOs intention that any discipline which simulates
>>the shooting of persons should merit close attention".
Hmmm. They should get their bums down to the nearest amusement arcade.
