BASC is fighting for your rights

BASC reviews hundreds of government consultations annually. When a threat or opportunity is identified we act when others dither. Last year, we provided a voice for shooters in our responses to 50 consultations ranging from proposals affecting everything from Access to Wildfowling.

BASC's responses to consultations and the rest of its policy work are not formulated on a whim, or written by external consultants. At any one time there are dozens of policy issues affecting shooting being worked on by over 50 staff across the UK.  Marshalled by BASC Council and with the help of over 100 experts on our advisory committees, these staff are our frontline troops, armed with the expertise and desire to ensure that shooters are a force to be reckoned with, whether the debate is in Westminster, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Belfast or Brussels. 

See a list of what's currently of interest below. If you think we have missed something or if BASC should provide a more detailed briefing on any of these topics please let us know.
