[edit] Neutrality

This article obviously needs a lot of work as it it was coming across as an anti gun control rant - hardly NPOV. I have tried to make it a bit more neutral but what it really needs is facts. All contributions towards improving this are appreciated. SaintedLegion (talk) 17:06, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Confusion between the two 1997 Acts

As mentioned in the article, there were two Firearms (Amendment) Acts in 1997, which seems to have confused some editors. I have removed the following statement from the article which applies to the other Act:

The UK government has been heavily criticised for delays in implementing the firearms register under the Act – the register had not been created nine years after the passing of the act[1].

The introduction of a national register is a requirement of the Firearms (Amendment) Act 1997 while the Firearms (Amendment) (No. 2) Act 1997 does not make any reference to a register.
Editors should be especially careful when introducing new information to this article and confirm that the correct article is being edited. Road Wizard (talk) 22:00, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
