Thread: Pump action rifles dilemma FSA making threats ?

Tricky one that, it was done fairly quietly when they changed the rules on pump actions, not sure if it was by design or inadvertantly. I certainly didn't clock the fact that it happened, until I noticed oneday a few months later that there weren't any for sale.

Just looking at the facts of the situation, while the authorities may not hold the moral high ground on this one, moral highground is secondary to the fact that they do hold the legal high ground.

Sometimes a shit sandwich is a shit sandwich and if your lucky you can choose whether the bread is gluten free.

It would appear that there are two avenues he can pursue. Find someone who can hold it on their C licence, or hand it in and write a letter explaining his oversight. He is not the first and probably won't be the last to have missed the memo. What does demonstrate that his actions were not deceptive or deviant in intent, is that he registered it (Clearly not the actions of a man hoping to knowingly retain a prohibited arms item). This is the part that would weight things in favour of the authorities seeing the situation for what it is and potentially paying some compensation.
