FCP Notice re: Firearms Act roll out

Following advice from the Attorney General that Statutory Instruments giving effect to the firearms act amendments must apply to full sections of the Act and not to part sections, it is now the case that some of the planned roll out of the new firearms code will be delayed at least until the enactment of the Firearms Miscellaneous Bill which is due for publication on July 3^rd under the Programme for Government. As a result, the intended classification of restricted firearms will not now be applied on May 1^st 2008 as planned.

General Election 2007 Candidate Questionnaire

Written by Mark Dennehy

Saturday, 19 May 2007

In addition to the Party Questionnaire, the NTSA has also sent the following Questionnaire to the individual candidates in the General Election next week. We will post responses in this article as they come in. We would urge our members to bear the positions of their local candidates in mind when considering their votes next Thursday, and indeed to contact their local candidates to seek their positions on Olympic Target Shooting and to seek their support for our sport in the future.

I'm sorry, but I don't have the time at the moment to acquaint myself
sufficiently with these issues.

I feel I would be doing you a disservice to respond to your
questionnaire without having done the necessary research.

I cant open the pdf to answer...can you send in word format. I will be making my own response to this document and basing my answers on my own position and not on the basis of what the Labour Party might say.

I represent a rural constituency and that would reflect the fact that many of my friends and neighbours hold gun licences..

If you can send on the questionaire again I would be delighted to respond

all the best
