Closed petition Zero tolerance to firearm possession for those found in breach of firearm rules

If a person breaches firearms licensing law in any way they should lose their licence, have their firearms confiscated, and never be allowed to hold a licence or possess a firearm again.

More details

Recent tragic events have shown that it is too easy for people to legally possess firearms, only to go on to commit horrible crimes. A zero tolerance approach to the possession of firearms could help prevent more tragedies like this.

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
