"Police and anti-violence groups called last night for tougher laws on deactivated firearms following Wilkinson's conviction. Realistic imitation firearms, such as the ones he bought, were banned last October under the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006. But it is still legal to buy deactivated guns which, with the right knowledge, can be converted into live weapons."
