All i know is, the police in Blighty and the public in general DO NOT support firearms enthusiasts,nor hunters either.....
Remember that there is a huge bias against anyone involved with firearms.
I wonder if they really did get it right.......its possible certainly,but also questionable.
I remember always a chap from Launceston in Cornwall.....
He was an oldish chap,decent,law abiding.....
He had a gunsmiths shop,and he stood up to the police over some rather trivial and simple matter.....cant remember what it was now....well the police took his license away,and closed him down.....they can decide such things,but he had certainly one nothing wrong,merely,he had offended them.......
Anyway hence i'll take my pinch of salt with this whole thing.....
