Regulate and license air rifles in the same way as other fire arms.

Petition Details

After being shot by an air rifle in a residential area, our family pet was paralysed when the pellet lodged in his spine he died of his injuries. My children play in the same garden this horrific act of cruelty took place we ask for tighter rules for fear of further tragedy to ours or other families

Additional Information

Currently UK law states that no one under the age of 18 is allowed to buy, shoot or handle an air rifle and that they must be locked away in a robust cupboard and pellets ideally kept separately. Clearly though this does not deter improper use of rifles and irresponsible users to shoot where serious, injury, maiming or even death can occur.
