Petition

Give British Citizens the right to bare arms!

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Due to the continuous failure of the Police Force, Home Office, Secret Services, central and local government to protect British Citizens from life threatening crimes we want the RIGHT TO BARE ARMS re-instated so that we protect ourselves and meet fire with fire.
Already stated above

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We don't know what you would like a right to bear arms to include, so we're not sure what specific action you want taken.

At the moment, permission to possess or to purchase or acquire a firearm will be granted to an individual who is assessed by the licensing authority, the police, as not posing a threat to public safety and having good reason to own the firearm.

You could start a new petition clearly explaining what you'd like to happen. For example, you could start a new petition asking the UK Government and Parliament to make a specific change to firearm regulations, if that's what you'd like to happen.
