Plymouth shootings: Why was Jake Davison allowed a gun?

BBC News

But the reality was darker. Davison, 22, had an absent father, a volatile relationship with his mother and a "history of emotional and behavioural difficulties". Davison spent hours online and police found about a million files on his computer, of which 57 contained "shocking and unacceptable content", including posts aboutDavison ranted about his struggles in YouTube videos and on Reddit, which removed his account the day before the shootings.

Acting as a referee, Ms Duffy said Davison was "a likeable young man" with a positive attitude and an "acknowledged interest in sporting guns", which did not concern her. His shotgun and certificate were seized in early December after a Pathfinder member warned the force he held a licence. The following morning, the force confirmed Davison was a licensed firearms holder and announced an inquiry.

The Home Office's head of firearms policy, Nicholas Hunt, said the national review showed about 6,500 cases where firearms licences were reviewed and, of those, 908 where holders had their licences returned to them.Ch Supt Linden told the inquest he had a "healthy degree of scepticism" the national figures were accurate.Bobby Turnbull's mother, sister and aunt were killed by a licensed gun-owner in 2012in County Durham.

An inspection by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary, following the Durham shootings, was repeatedly referred to during the Plymouth inquest. "This is a system of licensing that's not fit for purpose, really, and these tragedies are telling us that time and time again."In 2017/18, Devon and Cornwall had the highest number of shotgun licence-holders in England and Wales. Last year, it had the second-highest.

To shoot things.

Hmmm this all sounds very familiar, wasn’t Thomas Hamilton (Dunblane) also given his guns back by the police in Scotland? There must be a complete overhaul of the UK gun licensing. Jake Davidson was a man with a known history of violence, mental health issues, and with no real need to own a firearm. After the 1996 Dunblane tragedy, it appears changes didn’t include licensing laws. Terrible tragedy☹️
