Zero tolerance to firearm possession for those found in breach of firearm rules

Closed 60 signatures

What the petition asks

If a person breaches firearms licensing law in any way they should lose their licence, have their firearms confiscated, and never be allowed to hold a licence or possess a firearm again.
Recent tragic events have shown that it is too easy for people to legally possess firearms, only to go on to commit horrible crimes. A zero tolerance approach to the possession of firearms could help prevent more tragedies like this.
