We are fascinated to note how many social media posts are disappearing from timelines since the ‘spectre’ of checking social media accounts when considering firearms licensing applications and renewals was raised. There seem to be some very twitchy folk in the shooting fraternity suddenly. Just to make them even twitchier we should point out that NOTHING ever disappears from the internet forever. There are always records.

Most law enforcers agree that one of the best weapons against badger baiters is seizing their dogs and banning them from ownership in the future. This makes it much more difficult for them to enjoy their sadistic pleasures. Perhaps the same approach should be taken to firearms holders who use their social media accounts to menace or harass others or associate with those who do.
