Petition Mandatory air rifle registration with a 2 year period to register.

Make mandatory registration of air rifles.
Currently in the UK anyone can own an air rifle & use these to illegally shoot on lands without permission committing the acts of armed trespass and poaching.
Some shoot pets escape prosecution and costs owners thousands of pounds!

More details

By making registration mandatory ( 2 year period to register ) it will help solve crimes of pets that have been shot and / or killed.
It will also make sure that owners are punished for offences committed with their weapons.
We dont want to stop people shooting, we just want to ensure those that own weapons are using them sensibly, on lands with permission.
Similar to the UK Gunlaws on ShotGun ownership.
£15 per weapon registration and £10 per year renewal fees for up to 10 serialised weapons.
