UK Gun Control Network

This week we noted 27 firearm reports, including a man threatening to shoot a taxi driver with an Airsoft pistol. Criminals banned from owning guns can still buy these realistic imitations - that needs to change. @LabourSJ @LFarnz Our summaries: gun-control-network.org/incidents/

In February we noted 97 firearm reports in GB, including a retired gamekeeper, and former gun licence holder, accessing a shotgun to fatally shoot an ex-colleague in Pitilie. Time to move shotguns into Section 1 @Keir_Starmer @LabourSJ @LukePollard gun-control-network.org/february-2026-…
