This is the world the gun ban fans want us to live in

This might surprise you, but the UK Practical Shooting Association (UKPSA) is involved in… Practical Shooting.

I know, shocker!

What’s even more shocking is that the UKPSA has acquired five handguns plus the usual holsters and mag pouches in order for their members to practice IPSC shooting at a range in Northern Ireland.

A shooting organisation is facing questions over its charitable status after exploiting loopholes in firearms laws to obtain live-firing handguns of the type banned after the Dunblane massacre.

The UK Practical Shooting Association (UKPSA) announced the “awesome news” that it had “acquired” five 9mm handguns, which members can shoot at a gun club in Northern Ireland.

Handgun ownership was banned in England, Scotland and Wales after the 1996 massacre in which Thomas Hamilton, 43, who learnt to shoot at a gun club, murdered 16 children and a teacher before killing himself. The weapons are still legal to own and use in target shooting in Northern Ireland.

The charity refused to say who bought the weapons or whether charitable funds were used in the purchase.

So let me get this straight, the UKPSA bought (or were given) five pistols, put them in a gun club in Northern Ireland, and is now inviting their members to shoot these handguns in competition? And this is some sort of scandal?

From the UKPSA website…

The UKPSA have agreed a deal with NITSA Ranges in Northern Ireland and have acquired five handguns for the exclusive use of any and all UKPSA members!

These guns will be kept on the NITSA Club licence and so can be legally used for training, competitions and for you to undertake your Hand Gun Competency Test at NITSA (once you have completed a short gun safety course on Action Air or LBP)! These guns are free to use if you are a member of the UKPSA (you will have to pay a daily green fee of £25 for use of the range), all you have to do is make sure they are clean when you have finished!

YouTuber English Shooting made a video about this

This sounds pretty exciting. I want to play!

Callum responds to the idiotic anti gun story in this video about the reporter and how painfully clue free he is.

This is the world that the gun banners want you to live in. After they ban the guns, they want to ban anyone from renting a gun from a gun club, taking multiple training classes to get certified, and using that gun in organized pistol competition.

They hate you. Never forget that. They can’t be bargained with. They can’t be reasoned with. They don’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And they absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.

    “[E]xploiting loopholes in firearms laws.”
    Hahahahahaha. When you complain that someone is exploiting loopholes in your nice shiny new law, you are admitting that you don’t have the reading comprehension someone else does. And I say that as a citizen of the state where one was once required to use a bullet button or (now) a monsterman grip or the Thordsen stock because the drafters of a law that attempted to prohibit or register AR pattern rifles had lousy reading comprehension and could not see how one might work around the law.
