    Hello there!

    I´m curious if there is some kind of association in Ireland who represent legal gun owners in this country cause I couldn’t find anything on the web.

    Greetings from Austria

    There are a few - this graph dates from 2009 and is probably out of date in a few places, but the central message of "loads of 'em" comes true fairly well I think :D

    Sparks or another knowlegeable person - I realise that this chart is almost four years out of date, which may account for a few anomalies, like, is the SSAI not disbanded? This would mean that all those groups on the diagram below it are now just individual groups/associations and the likes with no governing body. Can you tell me, then, who is responsible for allocating NGB status in Ireland and how come the VCRAI is not on that list, in particular when the VCRAI, affiliated to the NARGC, was founded back in 2008.

    Just sayin'.

    PS - a little birdie just told me that the FCP no longer exists.....
