Not only that, I think all of the figures demonstrate clearly that next to nothing was handed in across the board...
Utterly pointless piece of “seen-to-be-doing-something” crap legislation.

In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

My first thought is; "who had a bump stock?"The Event wrote:I did an FOI request to find out just what got handed in and how much was paid out.
I think there may be a few items that didn't get handed in.

Except for antique flick or gravity knives which are still too dangerous to allow.

I can only assume those figures don't include the back stock SGC and CCA had? The pre-ban MARS estimate was 400 and LA was 2500......

I suppose from now on offences committed with such proscribed weapons will have to be managed and figures massaged in order to claim this was a success and not a total waste of money. Otherwise Joe Citizen might get the idea that banning things doesn't work.
