HOPES of creating a national weapons amnesty day could become reality after the Home Office held talks in Birmingham with the mums of gun victims Letisha Shakespeare and Charlene Ellis.
Marcia Shakespeare and Bev Thomas have been campaigning for an annual amnesty ever since their teenage daughters were shot dead at a New Year party in Aston in 2003.
The scheme has the backing in London of Richard Taylor, the father of 11-year-old Damilola , who was knifed to death in 2000.
