Petition Re-Classify Captive Bolt Guns to Section 1 Firearms

More details

In February 1998, Captive Bolt Guns were de-classified from Section 1 Firearms to nothing.

Anybody can own a Captive Bolt Gun and purchase the charges used to activate them.

Although no projectile leave the unit; Captive Bolt Guns are still lethal and dangerous in the wrong hands.

They are designed to KILL.

The fact you can simply buy one with no questions asked or background checks is very disturbing.

Some UK companies offer Captive Bolt Guns by mail order !!

Captive Bolt Stunners should be returned back to a Section 1 Firearm status.
