Whats the plan for Air rifles now ?
From the consultation: said:
Proposals following the review
Given that the misuse of air weapons appears to occur disproportionately when young
people are in possession, we intend to target the key risk of under-18s’ unsupervised
possession of air weapons.
We propose to remove the exception that allows young persons who are at least 14 years
of age to have unsupervised possession of air weapons on private premises.
We propose to strengthen and clarify the offence of failing to take ‘reasonable precautions’
so that whenever under-18s are on the premises, ‘reasonable precautions’ must include
locking the air weapon out of sight when not in use and storing the ammunition separately.
We do not propose to require that air weapons are stored in a gun cabinet.
Additionally, we propose to work with industry to improve the safe keeping and handling of
air weapons, to ensure that home security devices, such as securicords, are supplied with
all new air weapons, to help minimise the risk of misuse; and to ensure that dealers
explain the importance of secure handling and storage to purchasers of new air weapons
in person, at the point of sale, particularly in relation to access by under-18s.

Typical I’ve just found a cheap supplier in Holland or somewhere.
For those people that shoot rare, unusual calibres where they need to buy small quantites of brass etc., from EU based supplies this will become an issue I think.....as time go by.The big UK reloading suppliers concentrate on the big volume popular calibres, and won't want to be say, ordering 1000's of 7.65x53 Argentine Mauser brass from PPU etc, knowing they will likely have it sitting on their shelves for years to come.
I think even for those of us that shoot run of the mill common calibre's shooting is going to get a lot more expensive over the next 12 months, on top of the massive increases in prices in the past 6-9 months.

This should not affect us at all, it seems aimed at the dodgy fella on that dodgy estate who has equipment but no firearms licence.
Shouldn’t affect us at all. But somehow know it will.

Biden will not control guns just like Obama did not control guns. Infact I'd say there will be more guns sold during the Biden presidency, just because people think he will introduce restrictions when in reality he won't. The US is too divided; Biden will have other things to do than try to restrict firearms which will cause divisions and protests within the country that he does not need or want.
