UK Police To Allow Gun Users To Renew Licenses With iPhone App

[wraggster]

Sussex police are creating a number of iPhone apps for the public, including one to renew your gun license. Unsurprisingly, the plan has some anti-gun groups upset. Lyn Costello, of Mothers Against Murder and Aggression (MAMAA), said, "This isn't suitable, especially in light of what happened in Cumbria. We've got to be extra careful giving gun licenses. We have this attitude that gun murders don't happen very often so it's OK to be lax, but it is not OK and we've got to do everything in our power to stop it happening again. We can't put money before life and if you start to do that we are losing our humanity. It is a really stupid idea.''

You should be made to meet a doctor and get a psychological profile every year and not just make it easier so the government can cut back on paperwork and add it into their spending cuts, at least we can't just walk into a sports shop and buy an assault rifle like America, but it's obvious now even .22 and shotguns are dangerous enough and even i can get my hands on one.
