Does the Trigger Pull the Finger: The Uses, Abuses and Rational Reform of Firearms Law in the United Kingdom - Couverture souple
Synopsis
In the wake of yet another spree killing in the UK, the authors ask: should our gun laws be made any tighter? The answer's an unequivocal No. The UK's firearms laws are already inconsistent and profoundly illogical. Their administration has turned into a massive bureaucratic job-creation scheme, and is a disgrace to the police service. And if that's not enough for you, they have been unlawful since 1998, as well as unconstitutional. With caustic wit, the authors look into the deep background of the law, the ever-more restrictive, knee-jerk measures of the 20th century, bizarre prosecutions, and at the rational legal decisions that police and bureaucrats routinely ignore. And they show how each new curb on firearms ownership has resulted in yet more guns joining the pool of 'illegal' unregistered weapons. Then they deliver their programme for wholesale reform. They argue for disposing of the current prohibitions (such as the pointless ban on handguns), setting up a national firearms agency, and generally making it easier for people to own guns. Most important, they show how a relaxation of British gun laws will actually be simpler, cheaper, and safer than the present self-defeating shambles.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
paperback. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
