“No need for additional legislation restricting the sale or use of airguns”, says CA
The Government is being urged not to introduce additional legislation restricting the use of airguns in England and Wales, which is under review after a child was wounded in Bristol.
The Countryside Alliance (CA) said that though it is right that gun laws should be revisited when tragedies occur, “we do not see a need for additional legislation restricting their sale or use”.
Policing minister Nick Hurd MP has committed to review the regulation of airguns as part of the Government’s response to a debate in the House of Commons on the use and control of airguns.
