Petition Introduce more regulations around the sale and use of crossbows
I am asking the government to introduce and enforce much stronger laws for the sale and use of crossbows. I think they're a threat to both people and animals.
More details
I think that buying a crossbow is not only relatively cheap but also extremely easy, requiring no license or registration. These weapons are dangerous and silent. Compact versions can also be purchased which could easily be concealed. In a time when violent crime is on the rise, especially knife crime, I think we should be doing everything we can to remove weapons like this from the streets permanently
