.....in the end the budget wasn't broken...cause of the 57,000 firearms total handed back in, less than 20,000 could be categorised as MSSA's.
I'm not sure if the video footage taken at the select committee hearings is still available on line, but if it is anyone can go listen to the man stating the numbers.
