My final question is a related but different question on the availability of legally held firearms. Is the Commissioner aware of any incidents or any cases where legally held firearms where used in criminal activities, whether they be murders or shootings or other incidents? For example, a citizen has sent me on an example of road signs down the country that were shot at, he suspects, by the owner of a legally held firearm. One can see that there has been high calibre rifle shots into the road signs. Would the Commissioner have any concerns about this? Has she any reports of incidents like this happening?
