Rejected petition Restore the right to possess pistols for sporting purposes

More details

Restore the right to possess pistols for sporting purposes allowing our sportsmen and women to compete in their chosen sport on an equal basis to competitors from other countries, who are able to practice without the need to do so in another country.
The banning was a knee jerk reaction to a totaly illegal act which punished sportspersons of both sexes, able and disabled
