CHILDREN'S ACCESS TO FIREARMS

Motion Text

leave out from 'House' to end and add 'notes that no young person is allowed access to firearms except under strict adult supervision for the purpose of education and training; and that shooting is among the safest sports for young people with no recorded accidents for the last decade; further notes that allegations of 'hard sell' by extremist minority groups such as Animal Aid are an insult to the lawful interests of young people across the country; affirms that proper education and training in the use of firearms teaches responsibility and safety in a sport in which Britain leads the world; congratulates the Government for the encouragement it has given to the education and training of young people who wish to shoot; and looks forward to the imminent report from the Firearms Consultative Committee on this issue.'.
