I'm crap at maths but here goes....an estimated Half a Million Air Guns in Scotland and there were aprox 90 incidents/criminal acts in 2013/14 so there's an amnesty partly as a result. My knowledge of Football is as sketchy as my knowledge of Maths but there can only be just a few Footballs being used in all matches going on but there has been all this trouble and fighting. I don't know the percentages but it's clear to see that there needs to be an amnesty where people get to hand footballs in and it should be open to tennis balls, basketballs and ping pong balls too just incase.
No Airguns,no shooting incidents....No Footballs,no football hooligans and fighting etc and it would stop a dam sight more than a pissy 90 incidents a year!!! Clearly my comments are tongue in cheek but what kind of Wally thinks that 11,000 rifles handed in out of 500,000 is a result, the fact they were handed in at all shows they were handed in by law fearing people so by definition not the sort that are likely to have broken the law with them in the first place.
