is there anything in the letter(s) saying it should be kept private and confidential?

If not, cover your personal info and post away...!

I think we'd all appreciate it if you could pass on what you know.

A guess would simply be; anything producing a ME over 7500 ft/lbs, MARS and lever release all become effectively banned by moving them to section 5. All future “fast firing” mechanisms attempted to be defined and Nerf guns moved to section 2....

Enough to boil your pi$$!!

Would this be the letters that we have posted on the FCSA facebook page? Other than that there is no further news.

The info relates to 50 cal. The gist of it is:

We have carefully considered your proposals and we acknowledge that owners are responsible people ........ However the Government has a clear duty to protect the Public.... so we have decided that these firearms should be more strictly controlled.

It might be.... I was sent the info via e-mail.

Any chance of a copy here for the non arse book users?

I have just found their group on FB and this is a Public Post so I guess it is acceptable to share here:

:( It's a done deal then... Just waiting to see what the ramifications of the written legislation are :(
Democracy. What a joke.

This is just one of 3 varients of form letters sent out by the assistants of M.P.s who cannot be bothered to read our members letters, we are recieving quite a lot of these.
