A five-year firearms or shotgun certificate currently costs £50, yet police forces estimate they cost around £200 each to process the paperwork and ensure the guns are being stored safely.

Next time, they'll discover that "ensuring the guns are stored safely" involves monthly, then weekly physical searches of the gun owner's home or the gun club by a SWAT team carrying fully-automatic weapons. This costs $20,000. per visit

But you're still more than welcome to own a shotgun....OF COURSE they'd never try to prevent you from having one.

£200 to process the paperwork? What are they using, gold leaf on vellum?
