Rejected petition People demand a referendum for the right to bear arms for self protection
The people of Britain had the rights & means to defend themselves or their families against the ever growing threat of violence taken away. Criminals & terrorists don't care about the law. They are using guns, bombs & knives daily to kill innocent people who have no means to defend themselves.
More details
It is the right of every person in Britain to be able to defend their loved ones, their homes & themselves against armed criminals & terrorists. This country needs to hold a referendum on whether or not the people of Britain should get back their rights to bear arms for self defence against the ever growing threat of violence happening on a daily basis nationwide. All weapons should 'be licenced & recorded by the appropriate authority's under a strict vetting process.
