Rejected petition British citizens to have the right to bear arms for defence against attack.

Westminster terrorist attack, terrorist attacks through Europe. Terror attacks in the USA. The West is suffering repeated terror attacks, security services are working hard but attackers get through. British citizens should now be allowed to be able to defend themselves and fellow citizens.

More details

As stated in the American second amendment "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms". With the style of terrorist attacks now evolving to low tech lone Wolf style attacks. British citizens should now be allowed to bear arms. The UK is no longer a safe country, as the security of British citizens can no longer be guaranteed by the security services due to the nature of attack we are subject to.
