With that attitude we will never get our sport back ! Target shooting is what we would used our pistols for what would you use yours for ?
Pragmatic rather than attitude, been there done that. <21k and 5 days to go, where are the other 79k? What do you not understand about 'numbers game'?
You will have a life full of disappointment if you think a petition is going to change anything without millions of signatures and even then it is highly unlikely.
I think that you suffer the common misconception that the dicks in the house work for you - they are far too busy worrying about keeping power rather than doing 'justice' for the downtrodden.
What you have to do is convince the majority of dicks in the house to vote for your repeal, good luck with that as it has no political legs 'getting your sport back' is an u̶l̶t̶r̶a̶ ̶l̶o̶w̶ non existent priority.
Maybe you should try the LGBT paraplegic off white hard done by minority race card to get somewhere as a 'normal' Caucasian male you have a snowballs chance in hell.
I too was affected by the ban and lost most of my pistols,
many letters sent to the dicks in both houses not just to 'my mp', what difference did it make? - well plenty replies on govt stationary yet we still lost 'em.
There was quite a large reaction to that proposed legislation at the time more than just a pi55 poor petition.
What does that tell you? I'll help, they only want to 'help' you come voting time.
BTW look up 'parliamentary democracy' for your elucidation.
I have the pistol t shirt but cannot see any change being accomplished, if anything further pressure for license holders to be further 'controlled' by the shooting organisations collusion with the powers that be.
Yeah it saddens me that future generations will loose out, to single out one minority discipline is of little help in the greater scheme of things IMHO.
