| 154 | Oli Rhys | I look forward to the day that I am allowed to defend myself and my family using the equalizing effect of firearms.
The removal of firearms from the public has always been on the pretense of public safety - 100 years later the figures seem to indicate that the government is wrong. |
| 155 | James Tingle | Criminals seldom attack armed police as much as they attack innocent unarmed civilians (Because the civilian is not legally allowed to fight back anyway!).
Conceal-carry has saved the lives of so many! I hope to see Conceal-Carry in Britain, as it may finally turn the tide against the many crooks. Anti-gunners, we've tried your methods, they DID NOT WORK, now let us try ours! |

| 158 | John Harrop | Please legitimize what many law abiding citizens are doing already, carrying handguns for protection. |

| 165 | www.SaveTheGuns.com | Self defense is a basic human right. Firearms are the best tool available to level the field between a stronger, larger and violent youth and a weaker, smaller, older and more sedate citizen.
Firearms are merely tools. In the hands of a competent and properly trained individual, they are safe and harmless. In the hands of a violent criminal thug, they can be deadly when used to commit a crime with.
The honest citizen should have access to the firearm of their choice. Bring back the rights of English citizens to protect themselves and their families. Bring back the traditional English right of keeping arms for lawful purposes.
The experiment of banning firearms has failed miserably and it's far past time for the English government to realise the foolishness of firearm bans. |

| 171 | Marc Seaton | Everyone should have the right to defend themselves in todays lawless britain!!While the police etc are busy targeting innocent motorists for number plates and alike!! |
| 172 | Reminis | As long as stiff penalties and convictions are in place for ill/misuse of priveliges with strict vetting procedures. |
| 173 | Jugbeh Graff | Let me defend myself. |
| 174 | Nancy Herrington | Armed people citizens are citizens. Unarmed people are subjects! Come on Britain allow law abiding folks to defend themselves! Doesn't look like you are capable of defending them. |

| 183 | Alan S | Handgun bans, knife bans don’t get to the route of the problem, they just punish sportsmen and enthusiasts, criminals (don’t obey) law will get what they need and use it. Punish criminals. |
| 184 | lee smith | damn straight i want to sign!
i want to be able to protect myself, my family and my possessions. |
| 185 | Clive Edwards | Born in England but living abroad, I was once proud of my English heritage. Britain, not America, is the original home of individual Rights and Responsibilities.
Britain is now the state it enacted gun laws in the 1920's to protect itself against. It has become a Kafkaesque collectivist, nanny-state nightmare.
Britain was faced with the choice of accepting the relatively minor but dramatic costs of Liberty or imposing the economically and culturally destructive costs of treating all citizens as children, with the result that so treated, citizens will behave as children. Britain made the wrong choice, and is not mature enough to admit it and correct the situation.
It is with sadness that I now regard the land of my birth with the same disdain I hold Egyptians; a people cashing in on the glory of their ancestors without contributing to that glory themselves. |
| 186 | Maurice Curtis | I believe you should not need a license or permission from any government bureaucrap to own and carry a firearm if you are a decent member of society-- this specifically does not mean the John Howard or Elizabeth Fry people would be entitled to carry. |
| 187 | Len Miller | As a veteran, and a retired police officer.
I strongly support this petition.
In Canada, gun control legislation has had NO effect on the criminal use of firearms . . while
directly contributing to the deaths of seniors
killed in home invasions.
The most notable of which are
(1) Bob and Bonnie Dagenais, Ottawa, both killed
by homeinvading marauders who shot them while
the were phoning 911, to a police who could only hear the blasts which killed them
(2) Ragnar (Ray) Michaelson
senior citizen, veteran, home invaded by a druggie searching for drug money, stabbed him to death and he had no means of self defence . .
And these are only the events which occurred in BC, there are many more in the rest of Canada . .
Gun control IS killing people . it hasn't saved one . |
| 188 | J.M. Bell | Your argument is excellent, and your proposal makes perfect sense.
Best of luck. |
| 189 | Normand Bazinet | Britain has gone the sad route of baning all firearms ownership. This has resulted in a predicted meteroic rise in violent crime rates. Briatain went the same route between the Great Wars that resulted in a very embarrasing situation in which the Americans had to try to rearm the population in face of a potential German invasion. Don't you Britts ever learn. My wife and I watch "House Hunters International" which tells us that retiring Britts are trying to get out of the country to retire in Continental Europe because of the high crime rates in Britain. When I visited London in spring of 2000, I was shocked to wintess a city that reminded me of Detroit. It was not like that when I was there in 1987. Britain has decayed socially becasue of reduced social standards and hypocracy on the part of politicians. Unformtunatley here in Canda, we seem to be heading down the same road. I call it "British mentality". I am going to do everything I can to stop the adoption of these insane garbage liberal values. I want severe sentencing for violent crime and conceal carry laws the same as in thr US. Such laws really work. Since we started down this route in Canada, our violent crime rates have climbed 750% since 1963. This is not acceptable and has got to stop. |
| 190 | FRANCIS NEIL HAYES | THE HANDGUN BAN IN THE UK HAS ACHIEVED ABSOLUTELY NOTHING - EXCEPT TO MAKE HUGE NUMBERS OF PISTOL SHOOTERS COMPLETELY DISSOLUTIONED WITH THE UK GOVERNMENT AND WITH THE UK BUREAUCRATS.
TARGET PISTOL SHOOTING IS A HIGH PROFILE OLYMPIC, COMMONWEALTH GAME AND WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP EVENT. |
| 191 | john rowley | It's about time the UK looked after its law abiding citizens and not the criminals. Give them the means to protect themselves, I think you will be surprised at the outcome. Dump all the looney left advisers and get a few with plain old common sense. |

| 195 | David Davis | I have four children in my house... My job as thier farther is to protect them in their home. The current law limits my ability to do that effectily as I am not as physically fit as most men. |
| 196 | Kyle R. Turner | Do not punish law abiding citizens!!! |
| 197 | Travis Nemeth | The biggest statement I could make, you have already made for me. Firearms save more lives than they take. When banning firearms, you take them out of the citizens hands and into the criminals hands. |
| 198 | Joel Boyles | If it's a stupid idea, but it works, it's not stupid! Firearms in the hands of law-abiding citizens reduce crime, especially violent crime. |
