Proceeding contribution from Robert Marshall-Andrews (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 June 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Violent Crime Reduction Bill.
Violent Crime Reduction Bill
: Before my right hon. Friend moves on to knives, I should like to bring him back to his observations on imitation guns. Does not he accept that one of the principal causes of crime is a culture of crime, which may of course come from deprivation but may also come from many other sources—the media and the like? One of the essential cultures of gun crime is the existence of freely available replica weapons which are identical to lethal firearms and which are available in newsagents and shops that are close to schools for virtually nothing. Is not the creation of that culture something that we in the House should take seriously and outlaw?
