The Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006 (Specification for Imitation Firearms) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2024

As published

4 Specifications for imitation revolvers brought into Northern Ireland

(1) Blank-firing imitation revolvers brought into Northern Ireland must conform to the specifications set out in paragraph (2). (2) The specifications referred to in paragraph (1) are that— (a) an imitation revolver must incorporate an inclusion cast into the dummy barrel and a separate inclusion cast into the cylinder which extends to fully obstruct all the dummy chambers, (b) the inclusions must be wholly made of a material which is at least as resistant to being cut, drilled, bored, ground (or any similar process) as sintered tungsten carbide in the range 1550-2000 HV 30, (c) the inclusions should be permanent and incapable of being knocked out without destroying the chamber or barrel, (d) the barrel inclusion must wholly block the dummy barrel and part of it must be incorporated into the rear of the dummy barrel, (e) the barrel inclusion must be intended to prevent removal of the dummy barrel, unless the frame of the firearm is rendered useless as a result or its integrity so compromised that it cannot be used to form the basis of a firearm without significant repair or addition, (f) the inclusions must be intended to prevent the creation of a hole through the dummy barrel or chamber along their axis, and (g) the revolver must vent the gasses produced on discharge at not less than 80 degrees from the axis of the dummy barrel.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

How this law is officially changed

Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.
