Signed it, and waited for the confirmation e-mail. It came through and as i was about to click on it my bloody spam filter caught it, and deleted it - permanently. Had to set up a second (e-mail) account to re-sign.

58 signatures at the moment after about 36 hours. To really get noticed, we'd want at least ten times that, and I'd really rather see a number in the thousands if we can.
Given that there's 200,000 licenced shooters or thereabouts, and that there's a dozen shooting sports before you bring in airsoft and paintball and crossbow archery, that target ought to be reachable...

I agree, that target would be easily achieved, we only need to spread the word.

Someone asked, by the way, what a restatement was - it's not just another Act tweaking what's gone before. A restatement is a specific thing (the Statute Law (Restatement) Act 2002 proscribes how it's to be done - in this case, you basicly take the 1925 Firearms Act, then apply all the subsequent amendments and repeals and so forth from all the subsequent relevant Acts according to their commencement SIs, until you wind up with a document that looks a bit like this, and then all those acts (or parts of acts) from the 1925 one onwards are repealed (struck off the books), and the document you prepared from them becomes the new official Firearms Act. So it's still messy, but now it's all in one single document so (a) it's easier to read; and (b) it's more obvious what's broken.
