Closed Revise self defence laws in the UK and bring back handgun ownership.

Closed on

Enough people are dead in Europe and the time to act is upon us. GCHQ has done an amazing job at preventing terror attacks in the UK but the police cannot possibly act fast enough to save us all in case of attack by terror groups. We propose a government measure to allow civilians to keep handguns.

The five or six consecutive terror attacks in Europe prior to this date.

The brave US police officer who fought with the Orlando shooter to delay his spree and save hundreds.

A Switzerland style gun law attitude or Israel style will work. People in Europe are applying for gun permits in droves and can only use those guns to defend themselves at home and left defenceless in the streets.
