Families of Keyham 犠牲者s call for shotgun 法律制定 changes, 検死 hears

The families of the 犠牲者s of 銃器携帯者/殺しや Jake Davison are calling for changes in shotgun licensing in the wake of the 殺人,大当りs, an 検死 heard.

They want to see the 法律 updated to end the distinction between the licensing of shotguns and ライフル銃/探して盗むs.

Changes in the 法律 could see 限界s placed on the types of shotguns 合法的に held, the type of 弾薬/武器 a 証明書 支えるもの/所有者 could buy and 量s they could 蓄える/店.

Devon and Cornwall Police had 認めるd Davison a five-year shotgun 証明書 in January 2018, and he later bought a pump-活動/戦闘 Weatherby shotgun and hundreds of 一連の会議、交渉/完成するs of cartridges suitable for 狙撃 large game.

On August 12 2021, Davison killed his mother Maxine, 51, three-year-old Sophie Martyn, her father, 物陰/風下, 43, Stephen Washington, 59, and Kate Shepherd, 66, in Keyham, Plymouth.

The 検死 in Exeter heard 証拠 from civil servant Nicholas 追跡(する), who is the 長,率いる of the 小火器 政策 部隊 at the Home Office, to explain UK 小火器 法律制定 and 指導/手引 to police 軍隊s.

Dominic Adamson KC, 代表するing the 犠牲者s’ families, asked: “Does the Home Office 受託する that the distinction between shotguns and Section 1 小火器 in the 1968 行為/法令/行動する is such that the 法律制定 isn’t fit for 目的?”

Mr 追跡(する) replied: “I think since the 1968 行為/法令/行動する there are 際立った differences between 小火器 and shotguns, such as around 審判(をする)s.

“We are considering whether we need to change that. We have strict 条件s in this country, such as home checks and 医療の 報告(する)/憶測s.”

Mr 追跡(する) said the 1968 行為/法令/行動する did have “teeth” and said differences 現れるd because shotguns were 歴史的に used by 農業者s and gamekeepers, while ライフル銃/探して盗むs were more popular for spor t.

Mr Adamson said: “One of the 結果s of this 検死 should be that the Home Office puts 今後 法律制定 to 修正する the 小火器 行為/法令/行動する or to 取り消す it.”

Mr 追跡(する) replied: “I can’t comment to that. If the 検死官 makes such a 推薦, we would look at it.

“If we were to 提携させる shotguns with Section 1 小火器, we would have to change the 最初の/主要な 法律制定.”

He said the Home Office would also consider whether to introduce a statutory 宣言 on those 供給するing 言及/関連s on に代わって of shotgun applicants.

に引き続いて the 1996 Dunblane 悲劇, the Cullen 報告(する)/憶測 made a 一連の 推薦s around 小火器, 含むing training for police staff 査定する/(税金などを)課すing 使用/適用s and doctors to 供給する 医療の (警察などへの)密告,告訴(状).

Mr Adamson 示唆するd there was a 失敗 by the Home Office to 確実にする 国家の training was introduced in the wake of Dunblane.

“The position is of 広告 hoc 手はず/準備 without any 国家の oversi ght,” he asked.

Mr 追跡(する) replied: “I am not sure that is fair. The Cullen 推薦s were 受託するd by the 政府 at the time.

“The 指導/手引 to the police was 供給するd by the 2002 指導/手引 and training was 供給するd throughout that time.

Mr Adamson 示唆するd the 政府’s 受託 of the Cullen 報告(する)/憶測 was “just words” and never developed a 国家の training programme.

“It led to two 行為/法令/行動するs of 議会 and the 開発 of the Home Office 指導/手引,” Mr 追跡(する) replied.

“It would be for the police to take 今後 as a whole training. It would not be for the Home Office to take it 今後.”

The 審理,公聴会 was told a 検死官 who 統括するd over the deaths of a woman and her daughter by her partner in 2014 in Surrey said it was a “事柄 of 関心” there was no 国家の training course 利用できる at that time and wrote to the Home Office 最高潮の場面ing this in July 2019.

Mr 追跡(する) said: “I understand we 答える/応じるd in October 2019 and we 供給するd 証拠 to the 検死官 regarding the 指導/手引.”

He explained new 指導/手引 was introduced in April 2016 which said police should 捜し出す 医療の (警察などへの)密告,告訴(状) from GPs when considering 使用/適用s.

Only two months later, the British 医療の 協会 withdrew its support ? meaning many GPs felt unable to 供給する the requested (警察などへの)密告,告訴(状).

Mr 追跡(する) said: “The Home Office was very 関心d at the time as the Home Office did a lot of work to try and engage with the BMA and to try and understand the 決定/判定勝ち(する).”

に引き続いて the Keyham 出来事/事件, police now have to check an applicant’s social マスコミ usage 事前の to 認めるing a 証明書.

その上の 指導/手引 has been published this week by the Home Office to help police 軍隊s 査定する/(税金などを)課す social マスコミ usage.
