Petition Make handguns legal and make it easier to acquire a license.

The handgun ban has only caused handgun crime to rise. If a criminal wants to own a handgun, they will get their hands on one one way or another. UK citizens are given no way to defend themselves. Someone could easily cut down a shotgun and conceal it.
