The UK's Finest Independent Forum for Shooters and Gun Owners. Est 2010.

Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary has confirmed that it is carrying out a review of firearms licensing.

The review’s public terms of reference, which have been published on the HMIC website, are...

This was commissioned by Theresa May, the (outgoing?) Home Sec. I'm waiting to hear back exactly when this was set off.

"the force learns to improve its firearms licensing including implementation of recommendations from national reports into fatal shootings"

would that include something like the Mckay report?

I thought it was the Head Mofo In Charge you were talking about.

Wasn't the review actually announced some months ago Gaz, with some forces selected for sampling?
If memory serves me right Avon & Somerset were one of them.

I think it was, though this is the first time HMIC have officially said anything about it as far as I can see. The Law Commission made it clear they weren't dealing with the licensing system on their website.

bradaz - don't think so, the McKay Report was senior coppers trying to stitch us up because they hated shooting and wanted to be the only people in Britain with guns apart from the military.

HTH.

Why are plod so obbessed with wanting a disarmed public? its because they love the government and want no harm to come to them ? or what? i just dont get it ! they must know that all the gun crime is committed with illegal guns from the black martket and not stolen from FAC holders

I have heard unsupported rumours that at one of the Bilderburg conferences some years ago it was agreed that as policy ALL civilians worldwide would be disarmed. This would obviously take decades to complete, perhaps 200 years but long term is what Bilderburg is supposedly all about.

True or not, I leave you to decide but reports from around the world do seem to be trending in that direction.

Rumours are all that it will be! I find it so funny the paranoid conspiracies that have built up over the Bilderberg Group. In the end it is an annual meeting that allows important people from Europe and America discuss matters under Chatham House rules. In other words "What is said at the conference stays at the conference". It allows global decision makers to talk to senior academics about issues that affect the world in a discrete manner.

Plus I'd be amazed if they have 20 years of planning in them never mind 200.
