Rejected petition 1689 Bill of Rights Guarantee Right to Bear Arms

More details

Under the 1689 Bill of Rights the British people are

"That the subjects which are Protestants may have arms for their defence suitable to their conditions and as allowed by law"

The reason for this was to prevent Tyranny and Oppression

The Right to have arms for defence has been seriously eroded by conscutive governments by removing self defence as a good reason to own a firearm but also to limit the type of arms permitted.

Ever since 1903 there has been a concerted attempt to remove firearms from the public, The Bill Of Rights makes clear that Firearms ownership is a Right...Not a Liberty so therefore this petition is for the Repealing of all firearms acts from 1900-2012.
