Persecution of birds of prey is an ongoing problem within the British isles and those who carry it out appear to be doing so with impunity. A conviction for breaching the Wildlife and Countryside Act is sufficient proof that an individual cannot be considered responsible enough to own these weapons and therefore a mandatory ban from owning them is a rational course of action and will serve as a more effective deterrent to those who might be inclined to offend.
