Rejected petition allow for the sale of pepper spray, tasers & stun guns to licensed individuals.

in the UK knife crime is on the rise I want a way for people to defend themselves if attacked but one that will not escalate the violence and even if these items were to fall into criminal hands would you rather be stabbed to death or stunned for a short while?
