CALLING ALL UK SHOOTERS - Semi Auto & Home Office

[AdminMASTER]

Someone asked the following on another forum:

1) Where's the written policy ?

2) Who has "issued" that policy ? a) Steyr Austria or b) Steyr UK ?

Date ? 2009 ...when the LP50 was introduced into UK...and since, sold at UK retail shops



What's going on ??? Who's calling the shots on behalf of a EU "Free Market" ???

and a further eye opener..


1. Who & what is the http://www.bssc.org.uk ?

2. the National Small Bore Association rep in 2013 was Ken Nash; is he still the Rep today ? and if yes, have the NSBA publicly said anything about the GTA Ltd. May 7th statement ?

3. Quick scan of all Annual Reports does not show from 2009 any "green light" or discussions regarding S/As. (Ref: FX Monsoon and the then first import of the rifled barrel S/A Steyr LP50)

http://www.bssc.org.uk/press-area/annual-reports/

...if Im mistaken and you do manage to have an eagle eye, kindly post a JPEG from the annual report where found ...

We the UK public , consumers, sportsman, law abiding citizens wish to ascertain what Legal powers the GTA Ltd. have to dictate what can, or cant be sold in the UK; and what if any, enforcement powers ???

...what is it called...when a person(s), is/are on both sides...

That is comparing the Annual report of the BSSC and today's register of Directors at the GTA Ltd.

Dear XXXX,

Thank you for your enquiry.

This matter has not been referred to the British Shooting Sports Council, so the Council has no stance on this issue.

With best wishes.

Amazing! This chap is the one who deals with all the correspondence between BSSC and various Government agencies including the Home Office?!?

[AdminMASTER]

Home Office confirms NO meetings took place in May with: GTA Ltd. or any of Its members.

HOWEVER,there was meeting(s) in April 2015....as alluded to , "...since April 2015"


WHO has received what ? ...PM me , and/ or vice versa...

I think a New FOI for April 2015 is in order

...perhaps 30 of us, specifically naming every single calendar date ? , or 20 of us, for every working day...

So basically, every post by Terry Doe on the BBS regarding this meeting in May is bollix.

Well, good old GTA have certainly left TD out to dry then.

With friends like that....etc.
