Rejected petition Amend the law to allow homeowners the right to defend burglary with deadly force

More details

In light of recent events, I and anyone who signs this petition will be asking the government to amend law to allow home owners to protect themselves and their premises from burglary or break ins by use of deadly force. This in turn will act as a deterrent to anyone who wishes to unlawfully break in to another person's property.
