Not only that, I think all of the figures demonstrate clearly that next to nothing was handed in across the board...

Utterly pointless piece of “seen-to-be-doing-something” crap legislation.

I've not heard from Scott from CCA in sometime..
Hoping this bollix hasn't caused him to close.

I think there may be a few items that didn't get handed in.

My first thought is; "who had a bump stock?"

The ban on offensive weapons doesn't apply to antiques.
Except for antique flick or gravity knives which are still too dangerous to allow.

So I can tell my friend it's OK to sell his then; looks to be worth a half decent rifle!

I can only assume those figures don't include the back stock SGC and CCA had? The pre-ban MARS estimate was 400 and LA was 2500......

I suppose from now on offences committed with such proscribed weapons will have to be managed and figures massaged in order to claim this was a success and not a total waste of money. Otherwise Joe Citizen might get the idea that banning things doesn't work.

Nice one Dark Skies.
