Swansea was Vice-Chairman of the National Rifle Association.[4] In this capacity he lobbied against legislation drawn in the aftermath of the Hungerford Massacre and the Dunblane Massacre, including a ban on the private possession of pistols.[3] He did, however, support the banning of Kalashnikov rifles and a requirement for shotguns not in use to be locked up securely.[3] He was captain of the House of Lords shooting team, which was forced to shut down after 80 years. Swansea resigned the Conservative whip and sat as a Crossbencher, before losing his place in the House as a result of the House of Lords Act 1999.[3]
