An English Shooters Blog

I see a theme developing, I bet this chap is happy with the halting of the dangerous gun culture the government stooped in 1997 when he was 15 years old.

We covered this a few weeks ago, I like the way Mr Baker thinks we are heading toward a police state, the legislation is already on the books in more than one way all that is coming to light now is that the acts passes in Parliament are being used despite of assurances that they would not be, now be honest who is shocked?

The Prevention of Terrorism Act 2000 has been used to stop 62,584 people at railway stations and another 87,000 were questioned under “stop and search” and “stop and account” legislation.

Liberal Democrat transport spokesman Norman Baker, who uncovered the figures, warned that Britain was heading towards a “police state”.

On the way to work this morning, a little odd but…
Sent while mobile on my O2 XDA

So what do we have in this image that was taken yesterday morning?

Do you see a Father teaching his Daughter how to enjoy shooting in the same way that his Father taught him and his Father him?

Or like the government do you see a breach of the Terrorism Act 2000?

Do you see a young lady learning how to shoot in a safe way in a safe place or something a little more sinister.

Well if you look to the Terrorism Act 2000 C11 Section 54 paragraphs 54 section 1 & 2 you will see that I am guilty of breaking the law and my daughter is also guilty of breaking the same act.

You see I was providing my daughter with instruction or training in the use of firearms and she was receiving instruction or training in the use of firearms.

In paragraph 58 the act go’s onto talk about the collection of information, now this one interests me as I have a collection of World War II documents and some of them are copies of documents issued to some parts of the Home Guard on the kinds of things to do the act as freedom fighters if the United Kingdom was overrun by the Hun, it give instruction on how to build improvised bombs, along with here to place them to inflict the most damage all very interesting and all very useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.

So as far as I understand the Terrorism Act 2000 I should soon be behind bars and could be detained for 28 days without charge, I must say that I am not too worried about it but I do have a few questions for each reader of the blog.

Do you teach anyone how to shoot?

Are you given instruction on how to shoot (this can include the manuals you where given with your new firearm, a book on shooting, a training course from BASC or the NRA)?

Do you have any books on school boy chemistry?

Do you have any books on the Home Guard in World War II?

If so you may want to have a think about the Terrorism Act 2000 and just how many sections of the act you may have broken in the last few days.

This is an interesting one, after the RIP act that has never been abused by anyone in power (see the blog) we now see this little gem, I would like to write a long article about just how silly and dangerous such a thing would be I am getting a little fed up with being told that if I have nothing to hide I have nothing to fear.

I may have nothing to hide but I do have plenty to fear.

THE Home Office has quietly adopted a new plan to allow police across Britain routinely to hack into people’s personal computers without a warrant.

Apart from the fact I want to see the people involved punished in some way, it is nice to see the end of the dangerous gun culture as heralded in 1997 by this government after the pistol ban, I still think education & regulation is better that fear and ignorance.

One of the issues with not teaching children that there are consequences to actions along with how to have sex is that when they have sex the consequences to their actions become all too apparent.

Education is the way forward but it should be put into the correct context, telling children that sex is just about putting a condom on is not only wrong but an obviously dangerous thing lets take all of the lessons from our friends and not just the juicy bits, tale a look at the rest of Europe they have not only sex education but they place that education within confounds, they teach that as much as sex is a very pleasurable thing that there is no need to rush into it and that family planning is something that should be within a loving relationship and not the morning after, couple that with the respect they have for their own selves & drink and you begin to see just where we are going wrong.

It comes as little surprise to me that the plastic police sorry Police Community Support Officers  have been ineffectual, after all they have few powers and even less training, perhaps it is time to melt the plastic police down in favor of taking the money and putting more police officers into the police forces services and on the front line.
