AN inquiry opened in the wake of a tragic shooting on the Isle of Skye has concluded some improvements should be made to UK firearms licensing rules.
The Scottish Affairs Committee launched the short inquiry after dad-of-six John MacKinnon was killed in a violent attack in August.
The committee heard firearms laws in the UK are among the strictest in the world and offences are extremely rare, while Scotland’s system for processing firearms licence applications is “among the best in the UK”, with fewer delays due to its automated renewal system.
