What the petition asks
Our country's gun laws are one of the toughest yet we still sell low-powered air guns to anyone over 18 without requiring a license.
Every day animals are being shot at and harmed or killed by heartless individuals who see them as target practice. People are also being injured by these dangerous weapons. We need stricter control now, especially in this time of increasing gun crime. It is only a matter of time before their use becomes even more wide spread.
