Rejected petition Pistols for Self Defence

More details

I would like the government allow us to have handguns for self defence. Criminals are using guns now! Criminals use knives. Criminals don't get the message! Time for us to protect ourselves!

14 000 stabbings a year

Gun crime increasing. Since gun ban, 5X more gun crime.

Rape, house robberies, muggings, violent drunk crime etc. is increasing. Time for a stop to DETER criminals.

Criminals prefer unarmed citiziens. Easier to rob, kill, rape, beat up etc.

*Should law abiding and non-mental people with serious problems be allowed to protect ourselves?
