Why " NO POLITICS"?

"Is all this now law , or have the trade been given some kind of threat if they don't kowtow to this all powerful quasi-religious/political/control agenda ? Is there any forum that details national/international rules and restrictions ... without getting all opinionated ? "

Without wishing to get all opinionated, I think this is indeed kowtowing to the all powerful quasi-religious/political/control agenda. What the Germans call "vorauseilender Gehorsam" - bowing to non-existent regulations that someone, somewhere might enforce, in the kind of self-censorship that gives those of a restrictive mentality an easy ride. I think ebay suffers from this, and it varies from country to country. For instance, from Germany I can look at the US online auctions (so it is not a US legal restriction), but not so much as a cleaning rod on US ebay. Hard luck if you actually want to purchase gunmetal, not guns!

If you want to be political I suggest Canadian Gun Nutz which can get very political at time and pretty funny.

Bouletbill observed a certain curious restriction in the country where he resides. I added my observation of the same effect in the country where I reside, and agreed with his tentative interpretation of this behavior. That was additional information, not "getting political".

I certainly am not interested in poitical discussions, but I am interested in knowing why in one country I cannot access information in another country about goods that are legally available on the open market in both countries. If you have an alternative explanation for the observed effects, please let us know what it is.

Thankyou Patrick for your comprehension .

Question ; if I get a Euro Permit for my rifle and pistol , can I put them in the car and do a tour of gun clubs across Europe ? (Excluding of course Banitall Britain) .

What if ........ A gun club twinning association ? If every gun club had a twin in each other country , that gave members visiting rights across the continent ? Well , I think it's a good idea anyway .

"Question ; if I get a Euro Permit for my rifle and pistol , can I put them in the car and do a tour of gun clubs across Europe ? "

NO, since the transport of firearms across borders is only permitted for a specific purpose.

If you have
1) A European firearms licence.
AND
2) An invitation or registration for a competition by a recognized rifle club or national body

- then it is usually no problem to take the rifles/pistols and ammo that you require for the competition into that country and back home again.
But check with the host club/organization first!
