The European Commission have begun a European wide consultation on tackling firearm related crime, and although it seems to focus on trafficking offenses, the questions are very biased and are of a “what more restrictions can we add” nature. We are concerned that if not countered by a significant number of responses from the shooting community this effort may lead to future legislative actions being aimed at lawful shooters and firearms enthusiasts.
BASC are urging all shooters to take part in the consultation which takes the form of an online questionnaire. More details can be found on their website.
Firearms UK will be responding to the consultation, however we also encourage everyone with an interest in shooting sports and firearms to respond individually. The consultation can be found here
