Regardless of what anyone thinks about it and regardless of whether or not anyone in the UK likes it, it is not humanly possible to replace over 40 years of EU law making in the UK, overnight, solely with home-grown, pure, UK law.

If the EU took over 40 years to produce a vast array of law that was incorporated into UK law then it may be reasonable to assume that it may take another 40 years to produce "pure UK law" to replace it. Judging by the way that some of our politicians pontificate, argue, debate, analyse and argue again it may be reasonable to assume that the time frame could be considerable longer than 40 years.
How about they just get rid of any laws surrounding deactivated firearms? Why is it needed? The furthest they should go is to differentiate between normal and deactivated firearms and once it has been deactivated that should be it. Having to register a deactivated firearm is like having to register the picture of your grandmother hanging on the wall next to it.
