Make the carrying and use of catapults and slingshots in public illegal.

Petition Details

The use and carrying of catapults and slingshots in public places especially parks and town centers needs to be made illegal.

Additional Information

We have had a local issue for years & this is now a serious national issue. Children & adults are carrying catapults/ slingshots as weapons on a daily basis. Parks & High Streets are the main targets. Animals are being shot, maimed & killed for fun & left to die slow painful deaths. Adults are threatened with being shot on a regular basis & sometimes actually shot. Councils do nothing to stop this. Police are constantly being called out to the same people over & over again. It has to stop!
