Eight years on and still no gun register

A story from the Scotsman that is in a way this is a good thing. Eight years after a database of all registered guns was promised it has still not materialised, so they cannot build a database to hold a dataset of known comprehensive good data from law abiding folk, so how much harder will the proposed ID Card database be and so how much less likely to be completed. At the time of the Dunblaine massacre, which is what triggered the construction of this database, we where promised (by New Labour in their first months in office) that by banning hand guns and controlling other weapons firearms deaths would go down. They haven't, the only thing that has happened is that the unarmed law abiding people are more threatened by the unlawful, who didn't and don't care if their weapon is legal, just as was warned would happen at the time.
