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

Prior to my meeting next month with my MSP, I'd like to do some research on the above before I go.

Before I start trawling the net, I thought I'd be a lazy t*@t and ask if anybody knows where this information is already?

Some places to contact in that article, might be of some help?

Where is Porcupine when we need him?

Office for National Statistics is usually the place to look:

e.g. http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/social-tr ... e-data.xls

or the home office (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6960431.stm)

...which makes me think that based on knife crime statistics that maybe we'll all be eating with sporks soon

You may find this helps. Written in 2006 but still full of good info.
