A Stronger Voice for the UK Gun Trade
The Gun Trade Association exists to promote, protect and represent legitimate firearms businesses across the UK. In an industry defined by regulation, scrutiny, and rapid legislative change, standing alone is a risk no responsible business should take.
Membership gives you a collective voice at the highest levels of government and policing. The GTA works directly with policymakers, regulators, and enforcement bodies to ensure the interests of the lawful gun trade are understood, defended, and reflected in policy decisions.
Beyond representation, the Association provides practical support, guidance, and credibility — helping members operate compliantly, professionally, and with confidence in an increasingly complex environment.
The GTA Code of Practice
The GTA Code of Practice sets clear standards for professionalism, compliance, and responsible conduct across the gun trade. It provides a recognised framework that members can rely on to demonstrate their commitment to best practice.
Adhering to the Code helps build trust with customers, regulators, and partners alike. It shows that your business operates not just within the law, but to a highest possible standard.
For members, the Code is not a marketing badge, it is a working standard that underpins credibility, accountability, and long-term sustainability.
Why Join the Gun Trade Association?
Working in the gun trade carries unique legal, ethical and reputational responsibilities. The GTA exists to ensure those responsibilities are supported by expertise, representation, and a unified industry voice.
Members benefit from early insight into regulatory changes, access to guidance and resources, and the reassurance that their interests are being actively represented at a national level.
Joining the GTA signals professionalism. It shows customers, authorities, and partners that your business takes compliance seriously and stands alongside others committed to safeguarding the future of the lawful gun trade.
