Ban the possession of catapults/slingshots in public with no lawful purpose.
We call for the Government to create the offence of Possession of a Catapult or Slingshot in a Public Place without Reasonable Excuse; and introduce it as either separate legislation or include it in any future Bill on the further banning of weapons.
There has been an increase of individuals openly carrying catapults and slingshots and using them to shoot at windows, cars and wildlife. In public parks many ducks, swans and geese and other wildlife have been severely injured or killed.
