# "The appalling massacre at Hungerford on August 19, 1987 set in train a series of events, culminating in the Firearms (amendment) Bill now before Parliament. This Bill, if it becomes law, will seriously affect Britain's nearly one million shotgun owners who already suffer some of the most stringent firearms legislation in the world. Is the bill justified? Will its provisions have any real effect on armed crime? Is it likely to lead to a confrontation between the police and a hitherto law-abiding section of the community?" Tony Jackson, former editor of Shooting Times, investigates and explains.
