Been hearing on the News programmes this morning that we (as Shooters and licence holders) should be subject to tougher criteria when applying for a licence. Apparently we are not psychologically tested or monitored enough and that is why there are so many "Gun Massacres" (their words, not mine) in the UK.
Not heard of any response from the Governing Bodies or interested parties, although I'm sure some of them have some plan in action and intend to respond.
Found this article and it makes interesting reading. https://ukshootingnews.wordpress.com/2015/07/21/law-commission-recommends-total-overhaul-of-firearms-laws/
Only the other day there was some proposal that licences should run for 10 years not 5. Guessing this might be a difficult one to justify now?
