*sigh* blatantly a joke, absoltuely fuck all need for plod to get involved.

The article says

Seems they’re more bothered by the tweet than the air rifle. Id fine if they ignored the tweet and paid attention to him waving a weapon around in public
Violent bigot shouldn’t be on any council.
He should have threatened to shoot down jokes and kill humour and he would have been applauded
One way to lose your firearms license for life, I suppose.
For context: although this looks like a no-license-required airgun, it’s still legally a firearm and if he’s in a public place (with it uncased) where he doesn’t have permission to shoot (or some other good reason) then that may well be a criminal offence in itself.
As a shooter (FAC & SGC) I’m pretty keen that people use all guns very responsibly – unlike this guy.
I remember when this sub went absolutely mental at that jokey Farage quote about “getting his rifle”, claiming he was the second coming of Hitler and his quote would directly influence a rise in fascism. Now there’s a left wing politician actually holding a rifle and joking about killing people, and everyone’s alright with it? 😂 Fair play, I’m just glad all the bedwetters from a couple of years ago have stopped screeching at everything
Blatantly in jest. A major faux-pas sure but RT Davies can shut the fuck up.
Umm… That’s an air rifle, yeah?
All talk and no action, as per with the populace of Cymru nowadays.
The fight has long gone. There’s too many second homes to burn, not enough firewood.
Can you imagine a right wing politician standing on the cliffs of Dover with an air gun joking about shooting immigrants on boats.
Oh, how we would laugh.
>Mr Scriven later admitted the post was “ill-judged”.
In hindsight LARP’ing as a terrorist was ill-judged… who could have seen this as a terrible idea in advanced! Oh everyone else
Apart from the guy acting like a bit of a nob which probably offended all of about 7 people, the worst thing he’s done is give gun owners more bad press.
Anyone who legally owns a gun in the UK has to be extremely careful not to break the law (quite rightly) and even waving an air rifle around like this does damage to the legal pursuit of gun/firearms pastimes
