Waiting 'til March?

Thanks for the reply.

So it wouldn't show with firearms owners until their licenses came up for renewal.

I would guess that most airgun owners in Scotland don't also own firearms. I would say the same for England.

18 thousand airgun licenses seems rather low, even though Scotland has a small population.

England has a huge population.

There are many reasons why people are treated for depression, as you say.

Whatever the reason, depression is apparently the most common illness in the country. And the number of sufferers is growing.

I would guess that, whatever the official records state, there are many more than 6million who need treatment.

There must also be a lot of depressed policemen, judges, doctors, nurses and teachers in particular. And many of the unemployed. Lots of young people I would guess.

There ain't much to be happy about in modern Britain.

Just joking.
