In regards to ownership of guns themselves, well having worked in Westminster as a Liberal, I know all about them because our members moan about these laws all the time. As a person, I would not cry if they disappeared from the pages from history, along with drugs...etc but as a Liberal I realise the Law has to take a realistic stance, so while I am no where near in favour of legalisation and think one only has to look at the USA's woeful releglisation in the 70's to see how that fucked them up, even now, with gun regulation stronger again, they have never been able to undo the damage caused by Regeen and his redneck friends. However, I generally think the UK's laws are ok; AKA outlawed in most areas, but usable in reasonable locations, certain guns completely outlawed, licensing for 'all' legally dangerous firearms...etc I would make a few things stricter like making it mandatory to own a license, even if it only fires blanks. I would also give things like airsoft their own clear set of regulations as currently they are 'quasi' covered under other laws and so it is all very messy.
This is just to make it easier on the owners and the police in terms of clarity over their obligations and beaches of those obligations. Plus it makes it a little harder for those trying to convert blank firers.

I would be up for a game of airsoft, though I am unsure when, I have not played for while as it is too expensive and I am saving up every penny I have for my masters; thus why I have yet to buy my own airsoft gun. I did have a 9mm in Taiwan, but that thing was useless and is currently in my GF's mothers home. I want the Heckler & Koch MP5, which is what the met use. It is a good gun for people such as myself who cannot hit shit. haha

PS Grim, your from romford? Ouch man.
Maybe we should chat elsewhere, to save some room for pictures in the picture thread?

[ I live in romford, Grim lives halfway between romford and Brentwood, in the countryside. Although I live in a nice part of romford
BTW, have you met Andrew Rosindell yet?
