What the petition asks
The home office is running a review of affiliation fees for rifle clubs and museums holding section 5 firearms.
The fee is currently £84, under the new proposal the fee would increase to £1050; an increase of 1150%.
This would have a massive impact on the 38 museums and 61 clubs requiring this.

The government have made it an arduous process to respond, requiring a lengthy form to be downloaded, filled, and emailed back. This is likely to significantly reduce the amount of signatories opposed to this proposition.
