Firearms (Amendment) Act 1997

http://dbpedia.org/resource/Firearms_(Amendment)_Act_1997 an entity of type: WikicatUnitedKingdomActsOfParliament1997

The Firearms (Amendment) Act 1997 was introduced in the United Kingdom by the Conservative government of John Major, in response to the Dunblane school massacre and the recommendations of the Cullen Report that followed it. It effectively banned the possession of all handguns other than those chambered for .22 rimfire cartridges by civilians in Great Britain (not Northern Ireland) by making them subject to Section 5 (Prohibited Weapons) of the Firearms Acts. Tony Blair's Labour Government followed later in the year with the Firearms (Amendment) (No. 2) Act 1997 which banned .22 handguns. rdf:langString
