From: "Richard Loweth", [EMAIL PROTECTED] Here is the "reply" if you could call it that from William Hague. It seems that all that happens is the reader sees the word "handgun" and prints out the "standard" "handgun" letter without bothering to read further. Monkey see...monkey do? "Mr Hague has asked me to thank you for your recent letter concerning firearms, and to reply on his behalf. I understand why you oppose the measures which the last government had to take following the massacre at Dunblane. However, these dreadful crimes placed an onerous duty on ministers to consider difficult steps to tighten controls on the ownership and possession of hand guns in this country. However, as you may know, Conservative Members of Parliament opposed Labour's recent Firearms (Amendment) Bill. I hope you will find this helpful and thank you again for writing" The letter is signed by Ian Philps, "Correspondence Secretary".
