Re: Tracking

This is not a public database so the only criminals accessing it will be those working for the police. Possibly also the Home Office and various security services.

Does it stop criminals? Well, we could compare gun violence in the UK to countries that don't have a national firearms register. The UK has no shortage of naughty people but firearms just aren't standard EDC for the law non-abiding here.
