<• Uur recommendations may be summarised as follows: —
(1) That military firearms and ammunition which are the property of the Government, should
on demobilisation be returned to store, and should remain under complete, and permanent
(government control. (See para. 5 (1).)
That the Departments concerned should take steps to prevent military firearms which are the
property of combatants, whether officers or men, from being thrown upon the market when the
owners cease to belong to H.M. Forces. (See para. 5 (2).)
(3) That as soon as practicable a Bill should be introduced by the Government on the lines set out in
Appendix A, to provide, inter alia — ,
(i) That the right to purchase or possess a revolver or any other description of firearm
as defined in the Bill, or ammunition for such weapon, shall he limited to persons
who in the opinion of a Chief Officer of Police may possess a firearm without danger
to the public safety. (See para. 6 .)
(ii) That such persons shall be granted a firearm certificate by the Police of the district
in which they reside. (See para. 6 .)
(iii) That there shall he a right of appeal to a Petty Sessional Court against the refusal
of the Police to grant a certificate. (See para. 6 .)
(iv) That manufacturers and sellers of firearms shall be registered, and shall keep records
of the sale of firearms whether by wholesale or retail, and that there shall be power
under a Justice’s warrant for the Police to examine their books. (See paras. 6 , T (c).)
(v) That in Ireland, though not in Great Britain, the registration of manufacturers of, or
dealers in, firearms shall be at the discretion of a Government authority. (See
para. 8 .)
(vi) That in Great Britain, but not in Ireland, shot guns and ammunition therefor shall
be excluded from the operation of the Bill. (See para. 8 .)
