According to a British tabloid founded in 1903, how many signatures were collected for a petition from the Snowdrop Campaign to ban ownership and use of handguns?
Snowdrop Campaign The Snowdrop Campaign was founded after the Dunblane Massacre in Stirling, Scotland in March 1996 to call for a total ban on the private ownership and use of handguns in the United Kingdom. Founded by friends of the bereaved families and so called because March is snowdrop time in Scotland, according to the "Daily Mirror" it gained over 50,000 signatures to a petition in 6 weeks.
UK Parliament petitions website The UK Parliament petitions website (E-Petitions) went live in November 2006, and relaunched in July 2015, to allow members of the public to petition the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Although the UK Parliament's Petitions Committee considers all petitions which receive 100,000 signatures or more, there is no automatic parliamentary debate of those that pass this threshold.
