135 charges of supplying weapons to unlicensed people between 2014 - 2020

And thats only people charged.

So a really small number of offenses compared to the number of licence holders - and the horrendous cost of a register, combined with security risk is justified....to be administered by the Police - who have a high number of less than squeaky clean officers themselves - the 150 or so convictions for officers over the same period are just the convictions....
(I'm not trying to draw a false equivalency here - just pointing out that you cannot tarnish a whole group by the actions of a few - and you'll not fix it with a proxy, expensive, dangerous & incomplete register).
