As a long term collector of antique guns of all kinds, who has a fair understanding of the subject and of the collectors, I'm sure that It's safe to say that the people who are planning this move do not have an iota of an idea of the amount of unregulated (and rightly so) collectable antiques that are owned in the U.K. Any system of collating them will be overwhelmed. But as we all know, these people rarely let common sense get in the way of a good kneejerk.
