Hi Saxguy, good luck to find a 586, I'm a big fan of these guns too!
Could you enlighten us the UK legislation about firearms? (I know it's quite harsh) I would be very curious about it...
Well, ive been left a few years now so i'm not too sure. I think that maybe anything resembling a gun is considered “bad”. If you hold a bar of soap in a “gun like” manner, you are likely to attract the attention of the armed police, whose job it is to shoot first and ascertain the truth second. Come to that, you can even be tazed if you are blind and carrying a white stick (
Policeman must apologise to blind man he shot with Taser | UK news | theguardian.com) as the police might think you are a Ninja Assassin in disguise. Seriously, look at the link.
I think also, walking sticks are soon to be banned, as they could possibly be mistaken for rifle barrels, also pointy sticks are banned, and if they have a particularly sharp end, they then fall into section 5 category weapons, as do machine pistols and tanks, also pepper spray and Tazers… unless you are a Cop that is (again, see above link).
The word “gun” is also to be outlawed, as it contains reference to a “banned” item. Anyone using the word gun, will be strip searched (in case they are maybe concealing a gun), paraded naked around the cop shop and used for Tazer practice (if there are no blind Ninjas around to practice on).
Pea Shooters are also banned, as they are synonymous with “unruly children” and also upset the feminists’ as it is a toy that through the ages has always been depicted as being a “boys toy”. They say that in this day and age, unless a toy (or weapon in this case) can be shown to be unquestionably unisex, there is no place for it in our society. One of their more outspoken representatives, a Ms Ellena Trufflefart was overheard to say, anyone selling these sorts of dangerous weapons to young boys should be taken out into the street and shot. Which sort of smacks of hypocrisy when you think about it!
… other than that, I think you're good to go.
