Changing rules on gun ownership - action required - BASC advice


Recommended Posts

On 29 June the Home Office launched an eight-week consultation on proposals that will impact on the licensing of shotguns and rifles in England, Wales and Scotland for decades to come.

BASC is urging every shotgun and firearm certificate holder in Great Britain to spend five minutes completing a short Home Office survey in response to the consultation, which closes on 23 August 2023.

This is the most important consultation on firearms ownership in 35 years. You must not be silent and think others will do the work for you. The shooting community must respond in numbers. Make sure you have your say.

Recommendations to merge shotgun and firearms licensing conditions have been dropped prior to publication of the consultation. This was due to lobbying by BASC and others, on the grounds that the proposals were neither evidence-led nor proportionate. 

However, there remain several harmful proposals that need to be opposed, and several helpful proposals to be supported.

Done. 
 

i added at the end, in regards to q14 that not only should it be mandatory for dr’s to engage, that it should be done under nhs (free as we have already paid for it) or an across the board maximum fee of £25, with the preference being free
