  • New Hope: Common Sense Gun Control
    In light of the recent tragedy at Sandy Hook, CT and the increased perception of public violence involving guns (in particular those crimes involving high power firearms capable of automatic or high rate burst discharge), it is time to reestablish a common sense approach to gun control, regulation and ownership. This petition calls for a re-examination of gun control policy and protocols but in no way is meant to inhibit legal, responsible owners from their rights. Protection of our future generations within reason and responsibly should be a top priority as a nation.

  • Westboro Baptist Church coming to CT
    Westboro Baptist Church is coming to CT to picket at the funerals of the children and adults who were murdered on Dec 14th at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT. This group hates all people. Gays, soldiers, etc... It celebrates murder and death in every way shape and form.

  • The Second Amendment
    The enormous amount of US citizens that are legal owners of firearms do follow all of the federal and state laws and guidelines for owning firearms. There are less than 1 % of all crimes that are committed by legal gun owners. Do not punish the innocent law fallowing citizens for what the law breaking and criminals do.

  • Speech Control. Now.
    In July of 2012, a video was posted online that led to worldwide riots with protests, violence, and even deaths. More than 50 people have died in the violence resulting from the trailer to a film. The protests echoed violence from cartoons several years earlier where violence once again resulted in deaths.

  • Keep our Rights Intact
    As a law abiding person in possession of a permit to carry a concealed weapon, I fear the outcome if Washington makes things any harder for those of us who want to do the right thing, just because of a few law breaking crazies

  • Gun Control does not work
    Gun control does not work. Children need loving home environments and school environments to teach them to be kind to one another, and that violence does not work. Stop the violent TV programs and video games to begin with. Guns don't kill people, people do, and if they did not have guns, they would use knives, clubs, their hands or whatever else they can find. An armed populace has prevented many crimes and the right to bear arms is essential in a free country.

  • Socialist Menace
    It has been a long-standing problem at La Trobe University that Socialist Alternative have been permitted to continue their aggressive and obnoxious activism on campus. This interferes with students' freedom to travel across campus without being accosted and harassed. It is time La Trobe students make their voice heard, let La Trobe University know that we want the Socialist Alternative banned.

  • Ban Sale/Possession of all Bullets and Guns
    I am a social worker helping people whose loved ones were murdered or suicided by gunshot in Los Angeles, CA. First we need to outlaw the National Rifle Association so they won't be able to continue to brainwash and bribe politicians and the public. Next we need to federally outlaw sale and possession of all ammunition and firearms, even for hunting.

  • Same Sex Marriage in Illinois
    Several of my friends are homosexual and have been together for several years. They would love to get married and have children but, the state of Illinois has not yet approved this. They deserve the right to be married and are entitled to the legal rights that go along with that. This should be a priority for our state, to grant it's same sex citizens marriage rights.

  • Protect our 2nd Amendment rights!
    People are blaming guns for the Sandhook tragedy, yet the same tragedy has been enacted in China with knives. Guns are a reality, and we can't uninvent them. Even if you strip every honest American of his guns, the criminals will still have them. Look at Canada, Australia, and the UK. The people committing these crimes want attention, and use guns to get it, but if guns are not available, they will use knives, make bombs, or go back to sticks. Our Second Amendment rights are meant to allow us to protect ourselves, and all our other rights, from a tyrannical government, and from tragedies like Sandhook.
