• Congress: Ban Assault Weapons Now
    The 27 murders by semi-automatic pistols in CT dramatize, once again, the need to ban assault weapons. Every US citizen is at risk of being murdered in public by a madman using such weapons. You, I or anyone could be next.

  • REAL Actions Towards The Gun Control Problem - Not Fantacies
    The problem with "fantasy petitions" such as the recent one "Gun Control. Now." by Staci S. (and other similar ones) and realistic proposals if concerned individuals - and their legislators - truly wish to take positive action.

  • The Real Contributor to Violence?
    Addressing the gaming software industry and their contribution to the senseless violent gun deaths of innocent people. While I have not been directly affected it bothers me that our son, like most people, does not accept the emotional numbing affect of the numerous "games" with violent killing by gunfire.

  • Gun Control NOW!!!!
    The excuse of 2nd Amendment Rights is a falsehood. Maybe if it pertained to Muskets would be more valid. Guns should be as rigid as Auto Insurance rules.

  • 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.
