What the petition asks
I want the Government to give the citizens of the United Kingdom the right to defend themselves with whatever means necessary, up to and including the use of firearms.
Almost daily, there are reports and sometimes even videos of incidents where people are being threatened or attacked by violent individuals with knives and even machetes. Often these attacks happen in broad daylight and on busy streets, with assailants appearing to have no fear of being challenged by the police.
