The Firearms (Amendment) (No. 2) Act 1997 was the second of two Acts of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1997 that amended the regulation of firearms within the United Kingdom. The other Act was the Firearms (Amendment) Act 1997. It was introduced by the newly elected Labour government of Tony Blair.

[edit] Background
The act was created in response to the Snowdrop Petition following the Dunblane Massacre. The previous Conservative government had followed the recommendations of the Cullen Report on the massacre and introduced the Firearms (Amendment) Act 1997 that banned "high calibre" handguns, greater than .22 calibre (5.6 mm). This new (No. 2) act further banned the private ownership of all cartridge ammunition handguns, regardless of calibre.

The only handguns still allowed following the ban were:

Antique and muzzle-loading black powder guns
Guns of historic interest whose ammunition is no longer available ("Section 7.1" weapons)
Guns of historic interest with current calibres ("Section 7.3" weapons)[note 1]
Air pistols
Guns which fall outside the Home Office definition of "handguns".[note 2]
Notes
1.^ Guns of historic interest, are ones that were typically manufactured before the year 1919. Since so-called "Section 7.3" historic weapons use currently available ammunition, they must be kept at a secure designated site such as the Bisley camp, in Surrey.
2.^ Weapons not treated as "handguns". This exception allows National Smallbore Rifle Association (NSRA) "long arms" and long-barreled handguns of both small- and full-bore. Larger firearms, whose barrel length or overall firearm length exceeds that of a handgun are treated as rifles for legal purposes.

After Cumbria killings, are our gun laws working?
By Channel 4 News
Updated on 02 June 2010

The massacres at Hungerford and Dunblane prompted new restrictions on UK gun ownership. But after today's events in west Cumbria, Cathy Newman asks: are our gun controls working?

Gun laws in the UK are said to be among the toughest in the world, with tighter legislation following the massacres in Hungerford in 1987 and Dunblane in 1996.

A shotgun is defined by its smooth bore and fires cartridges or blanks, while a firearm has a rifled barrel and fires bullets.

To get a firearms or shotgun licence, the person has to apply and be interviewed by the police or firearms licensing authority, and the process takes an average of eight weeks.

The applicant fills out a form detailing any criminal convictions and giving the name and address of their GP. The police must be satisfied that the applicant will not present a risk to public safety and that they have a legitimate reason for wanting a weapon.

If the certificate is granted, the police will repeat their checks after five years.

There were still 138,728 firearms certificates and 574, 946 shotgun certificates issued in Great Britain at the end of March 2009 - the latest Home Office statistics available.

But firearms expert Michael Yardley, spokesman for the Shooting Sports Trust, said it is accepted that just as many people in the UK own a shotgun or firearm illegally as those who have a licence.
