Nice one for an act! (Donnie Morrison)

I have racked my brains as to why Scotland’s “Thin Blue Line” should have to squander some of their limited resources in order to protect the Foula residents from the potentially horrific use of a “wirm aeten” air rifle.

The only conclusion I can come to is it must be some sort of expensive PR stunt to help the squads who have been unable to think of an act for the forthcoming guizing season.
My God you couldna mak it up.

    Na Donnie, I doot da polis high-command towt some-een sayin “a lok o’ folk owning pellet röls hae let them loose in Foula” meant “there’s a lot of folk with pellet rifles roaming about on Foula.
    Community policing – you know it makes sense.

    You can thank the SNP for this it was them that passed these new laws to bring in licensing for low powered airguns . You can get 2 years in jail for this plus an unlimited fine .

    £300 for no license for a 20-year-old children’s toy. SNP law speaks volumes. Now carry a knife or hit someone in a bar, beat up your wife, tap on the head and 5 minutes community service!

    There was no real justification for the SNP bringing in this new law as the number of offences involving airguns have fallen dramatically over the past 10 years which proved the existing laws were working just fine .http://www.gov.scot/Topics/Statistics/Browse/Crime-Justice/TrendFirearm
