I am a Firearms Certificate holder and strongly support the introduction of a national database, I feel that it would assist in identifying stolen guns etc. which are subsequently used in crime. However, for it to be of any value it would have to list all guns kept by the police and various other state bodies (I'm sure I don't have to specify them.)For some inexplicable reason there has been resistance to this idea at a high level. Maybe it's because it would also have to list all the concealed handguns carried (with absolute legal immunity) by Europol officers operating on British soil. Other factors are relevant here..
