Not just the police. If you saw the Sun article, claiming that assault rifles are legally available in the UKicon, last week, Gun Control Network (Or Gill Marshal Andrews and a few of her mates as it is more correctly known.) were claiming that guns leak from legal owners to the illegal pool. We all know that is nonsense (as was the rest of the article) but the public do not. What is a pity is that none of our representative organisations took GCN and the Sun to court for libel on all of their members. GCN would not have been able to justify the remark, in terms of fair comment, because it simply isn't true.
