Fieldsports Britain - Police smash ’n’ grab guns

The only way to own a firearm and not be hassled by the uk police is to be a criminal and own one illegally.

Same in Australia. In the great gun ban of 1996 (I wish the yanks would get it through their thick heads NOBODY "gave up" a damn thing, it was a CONFISCATION), *only* lawfully owned, registered firearms were seized. Criminals that had "unregistered" firearms weren't touched at all.

[@ianwoods1384]

Yes, my friend, I agree. I've realised the truth about gun cabinets and the false sense of security around them. I now see if our belongings are locked away, they'll make life difficult for a burglar who I'd expect to be in a rush and have the sound of an alarm going off while they are trespassing and breaking the law. In this case, when the Police called, they'll have the equipment and time to get and do what they want to.

The UK, remains, what has fallen is England the land and all its estates, administered funnily enough by the UK Corporation [Bill of Rights preamble] read it closely the "estates of the people" not the people themselves thus consent is required does private property i.e Guns fall into that category of Estates, you bet it will, a little digression there so back to the crux of it, a corporation is is nothing more than a legal concept who most, misguidedly accept as a nation and reside within the confines of that concept, it only exists on paper, just like your state created IDENTIFICATION AND LICENCES, it is a legal ENTITY, not you the flesh and blood, a corporation created and contracted to courtesy of those selling you the illusion and sadly most are not aware of the gravity of the despotic deception they accept as law and life and even their corporate name, doing business as a LLP, companies house will tell you that, and the legislation that comes from it is nothing more than company policy for its subordinates to adhere to, they call it law, it is not law, it is wholly administrative, their own books tell you that, namely Halsburys Laws, and that private company policy aka Legislation only has the force of law via consent, LICENSING anyone, that is your agreement and thus contract, it's worth mentioning you are also under Martial law by acceptance, as a legal contract in commercial intercourse is derived from Admiralty and Maritime law, that's the law of the Sea, the Admiralty is militaristic by nature, and their is your Martial law, they are at war with you through commerce, Article 55 of the 1949 Haigh Convention tells you this through the legal concept of Usury, again more war talk, you are all HOSTILE STATES, being administered upon, LEGALLY, the UK are signatories and ratified in 1980, essentially all LEGAL FRAUD done the complete lack of full non misleading disclosure of the facts, but then they hide behind ignorance of the Law is not to be held as an excuse, as its all out there to be known, consent to it all makes it legal and thus an agreement to become the law you are all liable under. What's disheartening is the misleading information by this channel, condoning in misleading information a d even worse legal advice, there you have it more commercial intercourse at great expense, on and for the record it is the common law where your rights to land based laws are upheld. They want full control and the will use folks ignorance to attack your unalienable right to bare arms that, simple.

I had a less violent situation but similar in context. I had several pistols and some ammunition and shot at a few ranges in the midlands. I heard a story at the LNER club where a shooters wife reported him for intimidation and he suffered a similar removal of his guns by the police. When my ex wife left me , I remembered this story and I arranged my best mate, also a FAC holder, to take my guns and ammo on his ticket by transfer. Strangely enough a few months later I was visited by the police who insisted on seeing my guns, I told them that they were not on the premises and had been transferred to another shooter as I suspected my ex wife would try this tactic. The police did follow this up and tried to intimidate my friend and turned up in force at his house. He called the local firearms office at the Nottingham HQ and refused entry as thee bobbies were not firearms officers. This was an end of the situation, as in 1996 we had to give everything up anyway.

(that's why I ended that relationship).... summary, if you own any gun - even a Cork GAT the current system throws upon you with a stern suspicious. mind, when you have connections within the law you can abuse the law by association. and for folks like this man, it can turn the law abiding citizen in to a person that distrusts all that they believed the police and the courts to be about.

I don't like indoor ranges when using air weapons, I like the freedom of using them in countryside. I honestly think its a dying hobby, using an air rifle. I think back to the 1970s and my dad got a Diana SP50 air pistol for Christmas. I was fascinated by that pistol.

What a state LAW is. It means no one but criminal win !

[@geoffmaule4103]

I wonder if police officers partners were given a check every month to see how mentally stable they were, how many would fail yet they are supposed to act impartially and fair as protectors of the people as they are supposed to be servents of the people, they are not the law or jugges as this is not 2000ad but a fair amount seem to act and look like juge dredd. It seems to me, and this is just my observation that they seem more like a private security firm that has so many quotas to make to earn there budget every quarter, so go after the easy arrest or prosecution, So heres a question how often are the arrest numbers adjusted when there is no prosecution. As an old builder i have worked in and around the mod and police stations and iv personal nollege of tools stolen when the only access was police officers and on another day a full amo clip found on the floor in the car park and no investigation or fuss made, just silence. Now please dont think i have an a thing against police officers as i dont, as i have friends that are or have served in the police force that have dealt with some horrific things and in my book they are bloody heros and to a man they have strong morals and hate corruption, but do you no what every one of those freinds is ex military so perhaps the police commition should actively recruit from the military again as it might save money and keep ex service personal from living ruff and let's face it all ex military personel are well trained. At this moment in time i think the british police force is nothing but a business that is acting like one of the biggest gangs in the uk and a dam wealthy one at that, it all so seems to have a lot of personalitys that have some sort of perconal agenda which is more than likely behind the gun grab as it only takes one person hi up to push for the grab to make them selves look good and to seem like they are supposedly protecting the publick, but we all no most gun crime is committed by un licenced criminals with eleagle guns which we all so no they dont seem to be able to deal with.

You have it wrong. They are NOT there to protect YOU, they are there to ensure that the LAW is upheld and not transgressed.

In the past few years i have lost all Faith and respect for the Police so much so that they came to my home as i had witnessed a Major incident. They knocked my Door and i asked them to leave unless they are here to Arrest me, They said they needed a Statement , I said NO I’m not giving one, They were shocked that i wouldn’t help. As a Witness… I told them if they apologise and admitted wrongdoing to members of the public during Lockdown and Clear everyone arrested for simply going outside and do it Live on the BBC 6 o’clock News they would have my full assistance….

It is so sad to see how far the UK has fallen, I don't even know if it is possible anymore for the UK to be saved from the insanity you have going on across the pond. Granted we have the same insanity going on over here in the US, it is nowhere even close to how bad it is in the UK, and in many states here more people are fighting against this insane direction so many in the West seem to be enamored by.

[@eswain4785]

Not really the police force's fault. They have to take the alleged threat seriously. But the police should have the ability to store the firearms safely at no cost to the owner until returned. The license cost should also get refunded in line with the time lost.

[@richardpalliser7495]

State of the nation…….grim

[@sjmachrihanish]

Did they explain why the safe had to be broken into? I missed it if they did. It would have been preferable to all concerned if the FAC holder had just used the key! I doubt he refused. I note the comment below about Kier Starmer having the opinion that no firearms should be in private possession. Add that to the fact that the FAC was initially introduced because the government of the day was worried about the working class rising up like the Bolsheviks, I predict that Labour will try to seize all sporting guns except shotguns citing public safety but actually because they foresee a civil war with Islamists on the horizon and they don't want law abiding citizens being able to defend themselves. I fear there are very dark times ahead for sporting shooting and for our society in general.

[@generalg12]

if it gets that bad the army barracks will be raided. the communist states had stricter gun laws than us. Didn't stop the people rising up and starting civil wars in yugoslavia and the former soviet states.

After my ex-wife falsely accused me of dv the police confiscated my beloved rifle. I told them where the keys were. 6 months later police contacted me offering my rifle and certificates back to late my confidence in the legal system was lost. During that time i had already left the uk been living away for 3 years. Very disappointed with the police conduct and incopetence. I have never shown the videos of my savage ukrainian ex wife abusing me a number of times. I haven't reported her for child kidnapping my kids to another country. Dispite having a clean record all my life im disgusted the way the police behave these days they bring great shame on themselves while destroying the lives of young children and families I believe my marriage would have survived if the police had not gotten involved. Two children would not have lost their father. Wondering if to return to the uk. Events reported in this video show the imoral conduct of governmnet police and the broken system. Always use a top barrister to defend. 'The road to hell is paved with good intentions' that statment has never been more true when decribing the actions of police conduct. What has become of the country my grandads fought for in wwii? What distruction and damage are police doing to families children and society? Why are the police failing to control real criminals? Why is crime out of control in the uk now? Why have the police become incompetent not fit for purpose?

You don't think it's unjust that the cops can come into your home and take your property,no matter what it is just because someone accused you of something?What's to stop an ex from doing that because they are pissed or a pissed off in law or neighbor?With all the crap you have to go through to get a legal firearm Ill bet it's like having a concealed carry permit in the US.The people who go through all the bulls**t to get one are less likely to commit a crime than a police officer is.There should have to be proof of a crime before the storm troopers can march into your home and confiscate your legally owned property.Anything else is unjust.
