Stephen Kinnock said he was ‘sure’ the Home Secretary was looking at tightening regulations on owning crossbows.
Following a triple murder in Bushey committed with a crossbow, Minister Stephen Kinnock called for stricter regulations on crossbow ownership, describing them as "lethal weapons." He believes the Home Secretary is considering tightening the regulations, as current laws only prohibit sales to those under 18 and carrying them in public without a reasonable excuse. A previous consultation suggested a firearms-style licensing scheme, but progress was stalled. The Home Office stated the consultation responses would be swiftly considered.
