Hi,
Looking through a popular social media website showing pictures of cats, thoughtful motivational memes and staged pics (showing that their life is better than yours) when up pops another UK petition for the return of handguns for FAC owners in the UK. At 100,000 signatures, this petition will be considered for debate in Parliament.
Took a look and at the bottom was a line about for home defence -Parliament will then look at the petition and say "Nah".
However.
If the Birmingham gun quarter was a large industry and was selling uk made handguns worldwide ( can't think of a company today like Webley, Adams or Enfield still making British handguns - but I could be wrong) it might be a different story.But since British Small Arms is reduced to selling air guns it seems unlikley.
If all the UK shooters signed up together.
If all the UK shooting organisations got together.
If it was realistic - If it were a petition to allow the return of .22 rimfire target pistols then I would consider signing but a handful of people suggesting handguns for self defence is in my opinion a non starter.
