'We are now looking for the best way to allow genuine collectors to continue while giving the police and other enforcement agencies the powers they need to get black market firearms off our streets.' The measures for discussion include treating deactivated weapons in the same way as replica guns which are already illegal to sell, manufacture or import, although a concession may be made for legitimate collectors. Owners of weapons which were deactivated before 1995, when tougher new regulations came into force, could be required to prove their guns have been deactivated to modern standards. A new mandatory standard of deactivation could also be introduced, along with moves restricting sales to registered firearms dealers. Finally, certain convicted offenders could be banned from owning deactivated weapons. Will that work? I was under the impression you had to get a new sim card to re-activate old phones.

We can Re-Deactivate your guns to the New EU/UK Spec – D & B are Section 5 RFD. There are believed to be 180,000 deactivated firearms in Britain but only a handful of incidents involving the weapons are recorded in official crime statistics each year. A Home Office spokeswoman said: 'While crime figures suggest that use of deactivated firearms in crime is low, the police believe the issue is much larger than the figures suggest.' The plans did not contain proposals for a licensing system because such a scheme would be too bureaucratic to operate, she added. However, the proposals were criticised by both collectors and the gun control lobby. Gill Marshall-Andrews of the Gun Control Network said the consultation paper did not go far enough and she called for moves which would ban deactivated handguns and restrict possession of other types of deactivated weapons. 'We welcome the Home Secretary's announcement that deactivated guns are to be the subject of further controls,' she said. 'But I think this has been set up to fail. They will end up with some very minor changes which will not get to the heart of the problem.' Mrs Marshall-Andrews said: 'We hope she (Ms Smith) will ensure that deactivated guns should be treated as if they had not been deactivated. Handguns would thus be prohibited. 'Shotguns and rifles would require the possessor to register as a bona fide collector, acquire a firearms certificate and keep the weapons locked away. Pre-1995 deactivated weapons should be resubmitted for deactivation to the 1995 criteria.' One gun dealer, who declined to be named, said: 'Making draconian new laws will be a waste of time. 'Who is going to rush to have thousands of pounds worth of weapons welded solid because the Home Office says so? They'll just hide them in the loft. 'The Government just rides rough-shod over law-abiding people in a vain attempt to stop criminals breaking the law.' The British Deactivated Gun Collectors' Association has already begun a campaign to lobby MPs against the proposals, which were first put forward by Ms Smith in January last year on the day she met with the parents of Rhys Jones, the schoolboy shot dead in Merseyside in August 2007. One collector commented on the group's website: 'To deny honest collectors their collections would be just another poorly thought through idea with which this government has become synonymous.' The consultation paper is due to be published by the Home Secretary on Monday. ![]() ![]()
