Yesterday's tragedy in Connecticut should be a wake-up call. Gun laws are too lax, inviting tragedies like Sandy Hook to happen.

Gun control

The rights granted to corporations have become more powerful than those of the citizens of the Republic. Legislation is needed to affirm the supremacy of citizens in this country.

The gun lobby cares more about access to weapons of mass murder than the lives of our children. It's time we amended the Constitution and put in place a nationwide ban on access to and ownership of the weapons of mass murder that have put our children in constant mortal danger.

Tired of a government that won't stand up to the NRA? Tell the President & the Congress that civilians should not be allowed to own military weapons. Civilians should not be able to purchase ammunition for military weapons. And tell them to make it a crime if negligence leads to your weapon being used to commit a crime.

This petition is intended to show your support for a mandatory, Federal training, testing and licensing program for the possession of a firearm. Your signature shows your support of this proposal. We require training, testing and licensing for everything from beauticians, to doctors, lawyers and even driving cars, but we do not require this to possess a firearm. We need this change. Before a license is granted, people need to prove, through training and testing, that they can control both themselves and a firearm. Requiring a firearms possession license does not violate the 2nd Amendment. People need to prove they are competent enough to be granted the right to bear arms.

The news is flooded, today and other days, with news of school shootings and violence. While many want to know the relevant facts, the practice of interviewing children on camera is unethical and lacking in integrity. These interviews are re-traumatizing and exploitative of children for purposes of "entertainment". Urge the news media, both local and national, to stop this practice of interviewing children at crime scenes.

The Federal Assault Weapons Ban expired in 2004. Assault Weapons are manufactured for rapidly firing at human targets from close range. It should be a top priority for the safety of Americans to re-enact the Federal Assault Weapons Ban as a positive step toward keeping our citizens safe, our law enforcement safe, and our children safe.
