The British Shooting Sports Council (BSSC) serves as the united voice of the UK’s licensed shooting and collecting community, representing 15 major organisations. As an umbrella body, it engages closely with government, the Home Office, and international partners to advocate for fair, evidence-based policy on firearms regulation.
Amid mounting challenges—including proposed new police powers and licensing reform—the BSSC emphasises calm, coordinated advocacy to protect lawful shooting while maintaining public safety.
With a mission rooted in trust, patience, and constructive dialogue, the BSSC works to ensure that the contributions of over half a million certificate holders and a £3bn industry are recognised and respected.
