Government Response to the HAC Firearms Enquiry

The government has finally released it's Response to the Home Office Affairs firearms enquiry. What does it mean for shooters, NOTHING. essentially there will be no changes to the status quo apart from a possible increase in the application fees and updated guidance to the licensing authorities and police.

I suppose it is both good and bad. Good in that there will be no knee jerk response to the Cumbria shootings but also bad because of the lost opportunity to remove ridiculous parts of the various firearms acts that don't actually achieve anything. For example expanding ammunition and passing land for certain calibres.
