Arms (Firearms Prohibition Orders) Amendment Bill (No 2)

Member's Bill
Published date: 05 Jul 2024

Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

This bill provides new powers for Police to make sure the most dangerous gang members don't have firearms, while not putting unnecessary restrictions on legal gun owners.
