A spokesman for the Scottish Executive said: "While unconnected to the recent murder of Rhys Jones in Liverpool, that horrific act nonetheless gives added significance to the desire of Scottish ministers to move forward in the area of airgun and other weapons-related crime, and the broader weapons culture in Scotland."

Ministers argue that airgun crime is of particular concern in Scotland following a sharp increase in incidents in recent years. New UK-wide laws have increased the age limit for ownership to 18, outlawed the sale of airguns at car boot sales and other outlets not regulated by police, and tightened the law on firing air weapons from private property.

But families affected by crimes in Scotland argue that only a total ban will suffice.

Isn't that sad for the country that invented the claymore?

They need William Wallace...again!
