The number of young people prosecuted for firearms offences has soared by 20 per cent in the past five years, it was revealed earlier this month.

In 2001, 1,193 youngsters under age 21 went to magistrates courts on gun related charges. By 2005, that had risen to 1,444. The statistics come after a recent wave of gun crime in Britain?s inner cities, with many victims not even out of their teens.

Shadow home affairs minister James Brokenshire said: ?The rise in gun crime demonstrated by these figures is alarming.?
