Abolish the clause in EU Gun reform that will deny access to deactivated weapons

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

Collectors and re-enactors from across Europe will be affected by the new EU Gun Laws. This will damage all EU Countries Museum collections, personal collections and the ability to be able to teach the history of warfare to future generations.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

The UK Government can't change EU law.

You could ask the Government to work with other EU member states to remove this clause, or ask for the Government not to implement it in the UK.
