AIR WEAPONS

Early day motion 451, tabled 20 November 2001 by Jonathan R Shaw (Labour). Signed by 124 members.

That this House views with great concern the misuse of air weapons; believes that our constituents would be better protected and animal welfare improved if the Government brought the regulation of air weapons into line with other gun regulations, raised the age of unsupervised use from 14 years of age to 17 and required all 17 year olds to be supervised by an adult over the age of 21 years.
