Closed petition Ban the sale and possession of all firearms

We call on the Government to enact a ban on the possession and sale of all firearms, including all shotguns and rifles.

More details

After the tragic events in Plymouth in recent days, we call on the UK Government to enact stricter gun control laws and enact a blanket ban on the use, sale and possession of any firearm to prevent such tragic incidents from occurring in the future. We have some of the strictest gun control laws in the world, but we must go further.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
