pin Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I'm with the idea, but don't you petition the government to either not do something they are intending to do, or have them undo something they have done? Seems strange to petition them to not do something they are not doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 "We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to STOP people from Banning "legally held" firearms for the pursuit of sport." This appears to be a strangely worded and presented petition. Its the Government that would, "STOP "legally held" firearms for the pursuit of sport", not "people".

Paul223 Posted April 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Pin I know where your coming from, but at the same time I would not like to not show my support, what message will it send if only a handful sign up? Cranfield, I didn't write it, and yes had to read it through a few times first :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Paul223, I didn't even think you may have written it, I assumed it was a lift from somewhere else. There are always a few of these, "Petition the Government" petitions going round the Forums. Unfortunately the credibility of the petition and those who sign it , is often judged by its presentation and wording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I have to say, and its not aimed at you Paul, I won't sign that one. I am with the sentiment of the petition but can't put my name to it as it is worded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catamong Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Whatever next..??, I'm sure Tony Blair will lose a lot of sleep agonising over this petition, as a massive 287 people have already put their names to it..?? I don't think Tony Blair or any future government has any intention of banning all legally held guns, it just won't happen. I won't bother to sign it. Cat.
