Hundreds of people have guns seized over concerns

PSNI Chief Superintendent Amanda Ford told BBC News NI that firearms were tightly regulated in Northern Ireland.

“The seizure figure only goes to highlight how seriously we take the responsibility of holding firearms in Northern Ireland,” she added.

“There are a number of circumstances where seizure may be deemed appropriate, such as change in medical status, being involved in an incident which required police to attend, arrests, prosecutions and even an address no longer being suitable.”

In Northern Ireland you should have a certificate from the police to own or possess any firearm or ammunition.

The PSNI said it undertakes a number of checks before issuing a firearm license including checking GP medical reports and criminal records.
