Interview – Callum Long-Collins: A man whose guns were confiscated for committing a thought-crime
The catalyst to the removal of my firearms was a false allegation of assault, whilst there was no evidence of the assault and all charges were dropped it allowed the police to investigate further into my suitability to own firearms. Due to the opinions I had shared on EnglishShooting they felt that removing my certificates and firearms was in the interest of public safety.
I appealed the revocation in Magistrates Court. This is a panel made up of a judge and 2 magistrates that hears both sides and will decide the outcome between themselves, so no jury.

They upheld the revocation due to “my unwillingness to accept that my views were anything but mainstream and reasonable”. It was felt that I was trying to incite vigilantism amongst firearms owners and had taken my words out of context.
