From: David Mack, [EMAIL PROTECTED] 8th February 2001 The Editor, Liverpool Echo. Re: GUN LAW. Armed Police Aim To Halt City Shootings. Dear Sir, I was shocked to read of the violence afflicting the once fair city of Liverpool and the proliferation of guns in the hands of criminals necessitating the setting up of armed police patrols. Is it not high time that the Police and the Government take stern action to remove the menace of handguns from the streets of Britain? I suggest that the only way to combat this menace is a total ban on the possession of handguns by all civilians and an immediate programme to confiscate all handguns. We can expect howls of protest from the many lawful shooters in Britain who indulge in pistol shooting and, of course, it will mean that we will no longer be competitive in Olympic and Commonwealth Pistol shooting, a sport at which we have traditionally excelled. However, we must be seen to be doing something. Removing all the handguns from street will, fortunately, be a very easy option for the Government and Police because we have a comprehensive register of all handguns and in the final analysis if it saves just one life it will be worth it. I do hope you will find space in your estimable newspaper to print my letter, I feel sure that my suggestion is very sound and will meet with the approval of all those who are desirous of a safer society. Yours faithfully, -- And they'll probably print it! Steve.
