From: Jeremy Peter Howells, [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think we're right to be cautious but the Home Office realised that the data held by police forces on the number and types of guns in circulation was suspect at the time of the 1997 Acts. And the Home Office realised it! The central database needs some sort of data to match the guns against and the current police records just are not capable of doing that with any reliability. Your into statistics, if the data is suspect then any trends you glean from it must be suspect. There may be a fuss about 'long barreled revolvers circumventing the intention of Parliament' but in reality they are legal by the letter of the law as it stands and just how many of them are there anyway? Not that many that's for sure. Th eHome Office can't really come up with any meaningful reason to ban lon barreled revolvers unless they have some data. Unless the politicians decide to twist some facts to suit themselves.
