Cost GP Medical Checks

[Liveonce]

Bruce, I'm somewhat puzzled that what you have written is your take on things that apparently "we all know"
I agree that the medical report requirement could be construed as "an arse covering exercise" but I'm am surprised that you look on someone going rage and shooting people as "the police getting it wrong"
If the applicant (and a doctor) ticked all the relevant boxes to grant him an FAC how have they got it wrong?
Sometimes, the blame for a horrible crime being committed rests solely with the person who committed it.

I am with Bruce on this, as for it being an arse covering exercise. Should the worst ever happen again the chief constable will be their saying how they got a medical report on the suitability of the individual to own firearms and their was nothing more they could do.

The issues are many, it can take a week or more to get a GP appointment and somebody with suicide or depression thoughts could have done the deed before ever seeing their GP then the risk that firearms owners with any of the relevant conditions that could see their firearms removed, may think twice about seeking GP help.
