"I promised the community in Keyham that the law around guns must change" - Plymouth MP Luke Pollard
A LAW to ban shotguns from all homes following the Keyham atrocities is to be discussed by Parliament today.
Dubbed Keyham’s Law, the legislation proposed by Plymouth MP Luke Pollard aims to restrict the storage of pump-action shotguns to gun clubs and shops while also making violent misogyny a hate crime.
Mr Pollard, the Labour MP whose constituency included Keyham, will be introducing the Firearms and Hate Crime Bill to Parliament today.
Mr Pollard has been working with the families of the victims of the shootings last August, the local community and elected representatives to produce a set of proposals to stop any community ever going through what the Keyham community experienced happening again.
The first part of Keyham’s Law proposes a ban on keeping pump-action shotguns in homes, limiting their storage to gun clubs and gun shops. It will also seek to link mental health records to gun certificates, to ensure that anyone experiencing a mental health crisis does not have access to a gun.
