I think you'll find the BATF are in the process of an internal review and study
of the situation which is due to complete Dec 27 1999.
My guess is that proposed future policy will be made from this report and the
time for lobbying will be after this date.
Strong indications are that pressurising BATF now will at the best be nugatory
and most likely be wholly counter-productive.
Thinking laterally for a moment, it may be of concern that there is a potential
glut of reasonably modern and cheap ex-Soviet armour around, the whole picture
is not known to us presently, maybe ultimately the odd Ferret, Fox, Scorpion,
Saracen, Saladin, 432 or Tiger (if you can find one) is of little or no
concern.
