AIRGUNS AND REPLICA GUNS

Motion Text

That this House is alarmed about the increasing numbers of reported incidents involving airguns, BB and replica guns used as threats in UK communities; notes the recent tragic accidental death of a two year old in Scotland, who died when an irresponsible individual fired at members of a local fire crew whilst they attended a local incident, describing his casual actions as `only having fun'; and calls upon the Government to take immediate action to ban the sale, carrying and ownership of such dangerous weapons forthwith.
