We believe threat of violent crime can make many feel unsafe. We ask Parliament to review weapons laws and allow adults to buy, possess and use regulated non-lethal self-defence items. The framework should cover product approval, licensed retailers, safe-use guidance and heavy penalties for misuse.
Shabana Mahmood

Fund self-defence for students and women, and legalise licensed defence tools
Allow stun guns or tasers to be carried and used in self defence
Permit off-duty police & (ex)military to carry batons for public safety
