From BASC:

Firearms licensing proposals
not fit for purpose

There are only two weeks left to have your say on government proposals that could lead to the most significant changes to firearms licensing in 20 years.

Firearms licensing has become a postcode lottery with police forces making up their own rules and some GPs charging extortionate fees.

To make matters worse, the Home Office wants to introduce statutory firearms licensing guidance for England, Wales and Scotland that will lead to even more chaos and confusion.

A consultation on the proposals ends at 11.45pm on Tuesday 17 September 2019.

BASC has already published its response and warns that the proposals will have a detrimental impact on firearms licensing.

BASC wants an efficient, cost-effective and robust system of firearms licensing that protects public safety and provides excellent service to the shooting community. We believe that all parties in the licensing process in England, Wales and Scotland should have statutory duties and must include the doctors.

We would urge each and every one of you to take a few minutes to email your views to the Home Office, telling them that the proposals are not fit for purpose.
