OFFENSIVE WEAPONS BILL AMENDMENT - UPDATE

Due to time limitations following today's Brexit statement, the Government has not addressed the Offensive Weapons Bill as expected.  No new date has been announced so there is additional time for further representations. 

Despite previous assurances the Government has now changed their mind and are proposing to proceed with a ban on rifles with a muzzle energy of more than 10,000 ft lbs (13,600J).  This will effectively ban .50 calibre target rifles.

 
The GTA has sent an Update (11/10/18) to all its Members encouraging them to email their MP with details of an amendment to oppose this ban.  By providing MP's with complete information and urging them to support the amendment we can make our voice heard. 

If you are not currently a GTA Member and would like to be involved in this and future initiatives, APPLY NOW and add YOUR VOICE to that of the GTA...
