Rejected petition Unban Handguns For Target Shooting

More details

unban handguns for target shooting, criminals dont get gun legally anyway there is still gun crime involving handguns anyway even after the 1997 stupid ban, just because criminals go and kill loads of people with a gun they got through the black market should not effect our gun laws.

GUNS DONT KILL PEOPLE, PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE

Guns are an inanimate object they dont just crack your safe from the inside and walk off and kill somebody. You dont ban football, more people get killed in football that by people with guns shooting is a sport and hobby as well as football so unban handguns.
