Its an argument worth arguing Tim I agree. Personaly I think it covers Reenactors & registered museams. But I hope I am wrong. {sadley doubt it though having read reams od commons & lords papers on it over the last year.

Personly I think the big dealers will do ok & the small collectors & dealers will not.

The people making these laws should really take a closer look on reality.
The way they are thinking now the logical path will lead to banning all knives and the introduction of chopsticks...

Sadley Its a law to pretend they are doing something about crime, to appease the over 50s who vote & the newspapers who the over 50s read rather than anything to do with realitys of life.
