Petition Prevent the licensing of airguns in England

More details

It has been rumoured that the Scottish Government is attempting to implement a licensing system for low powered air rifles. We do not want this to affect the rights of citizens within England. There is already a licensing system in place for higher powered air rifles within the UK.

Very little crime is commited via the use of air guns and most are used for recreational hobbies.
