Closed petition Require licences to use air rifles

I would like for all air rifle owners to have to have a licence to use their weapon even if they are under 12foot/pound.

More details

Since 2020, there has been an increase of people being seriously injured with air weapons. These weapons are still lethal and no licence required so people are not tested to use.
