Closed Legalise semi/fully automatic guns of any calibre whilst in a safe environment, run by Professional instructors.

Closed on

We believe civilians should be able to go to a shooting range, where under the close watch of professional instructors, have access to shoot semi/full automatic guns of any calibre.

This will not be available to people who have had a previous conviction of 5 years or more, and those who wish to take part must be of at least 18 years of age, or 16+ with their parents presence or consent.

Shooting would take part on a safe shooting range, under the close watch of professionals, who have experience with weapon systems and can teach how to use the weapons correctly and safely.

Participants will also have to sign in to say that they have been to the range and sign out before they leave. Participants will not be able to leave with any of the equipment that they have used.

A similar system is already being used in the Cadets and has been proven to be very effective and safe at the same time.
