More details
In the light of tragic events in Plymouth (12 August 2021), firearms and shotgun licensing must be reviewed and amend to prevent this type of event happening in the future.
Stricter rules are needed and any license holder not living within the structure of the law must not be trusted to hold a firearms or shotgun license (1 strike and you're out).
