What the petition asks
We, the undersigned, petition the government to repeal the 1997 and 1988 Firearms Act. We believe that law-abiding people should be allowed to own firearms prohibited under these laws, should they wish to do so. These acts were knee-jerk reactions and have done nothing to decrease violent crime.
