From M. Eveleigh:-

WHILE I sympathise with laser pen victim Mr Johnson (Globe, November 19) I do fear that he has been misled when he says, "It's frightening when you think the Government has succeeded in taking guns off the street."

The Government has not taken any guns off the streets; all it has done is to deprive law abiding peole of their sport.

Do not be fooled Mr Johnson. There are many more illegal weapons on our streets than ever, for example in the last few weeks in Liverpool alone two peole have been murdered with 'banned' handguns.

Banning anything does not affect those who intend to act illegally.

Parkgate,

S. Wirral
