Relax Gun Laws in the UK.
Currently in the UK there is almost no legal way of self defence against criminals.
The nature of the law means the only people who hold and use handguns are criminals and criminals love strict gun laws and weapon laws because they KNOW they are unopposed when they choose to commit violent crimes!
The UK has the strictest gun laws in the world which have only served to put guns into the hands of criminals and criminals only. As a law abiding citizen in the free world we should have a right to bear arms to defend our homes and selves when in public especially when terrorism and violent crime involving guns and knives is on the rise! The current gun laws prevent citizens from playing a part in countering crime.
Repeal the 1997 Firearms act and re-legalise handguns
Legalise concealed carry
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
We understand that you'd like the UK Government and Parliament to relax the laws around gun ownership, but different laws cover gun ownership and we're not sure that repealing the Firearms Act 1997 would achieve what you'd like. We're also not sure whether you want to change the laws around self-defence.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition asking the UK Government and Parliament to change the law to allow any adult to buy and carry a gun, including a handgun, if that's what you'd like to happen.
