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.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
Police officers can already be trained and authorised to use firearms but this is an operational matter for the police.
We could accept a petition calling for all police to be required to be armed.
