What the petition asks
We call on the Government to enact a ban on the possession and sale of all firearms, including all shotguns and rifles.
After the tragic events in Plymouth in recent days, we call on the UK Government to enact stricter gun control laws and enact a blanket ban on the use, sale and possession of any firearm to prevent such tragic incidents from occurring in the future. We have some of the strictest gun control laws in the world, but we must go further.
