I was just wondering about this because it does make a difference to how many potential victims there could be. I'll move on.
One of our previous witnesses in the first hour was Mr. Christian Pearce, who is a criminal defence lawyer. He has represented many clients who have been involved in firearms crimes. I know we've had a lot of conversations on the illegal firearms trade. These are smuggled weapons, and they were illegal to begin with, but there is also a very real problem with legal firearms that are being illegally diverted.
Criminal organizations in the past have targeted firearms shops, vendors and so on. What more can we be doing to ensure that legal firearms are not being illegally diverted into the hands of criminal organizations?
