The way I read the last part is that FACs should be granted (in the same manner as a SGC) unless the person has a conviction for a violent crime , with an appeal procedure. That's sounds nothing but fair and rational.
That was my take on it too, however, I think if someone’s going to write something like this then there cannot be any room for interpretation.
Wait, so I can own a .55 calibre Boys anti-tank rifle, but not a .22 pistol?

How to shoot oneself in the hoof.

Bit like marketing questionnaires and MORI poles...so easy to screw them up.

The law already allows for individuals with convictions and those who have served a prison sentence not exceeding 3 years, from being granted a certificate. And quite frankly, a three year sentence will generally reflect a fairly serious crime these days!
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!

Sounds like a good guy..you got links to his sites...

NO control is a bad idea..control and BAN are different things of course.
Political Correctness is the language of lies, written by the corrupt , spoken by the inept!
