Closed Ban balaclavas to prevent crime

Closed on

I want the government to totally ban balaclavas. I do not think there is any need for them because we do not have arctic conditions in this country. Stop people from selling them and arrest and fine people who are found wearing them.

The crime rate is too high and I am concerned about people driving cars into shops with balaclavas on. There are too many stabbings and murders and I'm concerned that balaclavas mean people cannot be identified.
