I would have liked to post a link to the original 1998 press release on the Home Office Website, but as usual the search facility doesn't work, and pages are either missing or hidden in some obscure corner.... try it for yourself, maybe you'll have more luck than I did, and if you do, please post the link here if you can ?

However, it's now the years since the Home Office issued a triumphant press release about the 1998 Firearms (Amendment) Act.

ARE we any safer, HAS it saved lives?
