Petition to stop army adverts/commercials with an aim to reducing gun crime

I would be grateful to my Facebook friends if they signed my petition to have army adverts and commercials made illegal. On the grounds that these commercial portray the use of military force and weapon's usage in a glorifying way that may inspire some young people in society to see guns as something positive or a means of protecting their land / turf...

I'm sure everyone is fully aware that both gun and knife crimes are on the increase within Britain/UK/Europe. Any responsible government seeking to reduce these statistics should address the morality of army adverts, commercials, posters and websites. Due to their potential to endorse the use of armed or military tactics to maintain land / turf / places of criminal revenue from drug and illegal weaponry sales.
