It is being backed by gun crime victim Christopher Wright, who had a shotgun fired at him at close range on his doorstep.

The intended target of the shooting in April 2010 was his son, who had broken a car window in a dispute over a girl.

Mr Wright said: "We lost our business, we’ve nearly lost our house three times, I couldn’t work for three years and I’m incredibly lucky to even be here and telling this tale.

"This is an opportunity for people that might not necessarily think about giving up their weapons to hand them in.
