I went online to take part in the consultation and, even if I were a ballistics expert, I am not sure I would be able to complete the survey. I never read anything like it. That is why I have received so many complaints. It was not a consultation process that members of Firearms United Ireland or other gun groups could make head or tail of. I cannot say I blame them.

To me, that is concerning, especially when we are dealing with such important legislation. It seems to me there has not been any engagement with those groups thus far. I understand the consultation period would need to end, but when the consultation itself cannot be partaken of by those whom it is going to affect, this is mind-boggling. It is not possible to make head nor tail of it in the English language.
