What the petition asks
I believe that legitimate gun owners should be able to shoot a handgun because Northern Ireland do and so does the Isle of Man and jersey. You can say guns will increase violent crime but Switzerland has 1 gun per 2 people and have a lower crime rate than us. Fac holders should be able to do this to
This will mean fac holders can own handguns for target shooting and self defence like Northern Ireland
