  • Control violence through sane gun control
    We can no longer tolerate the random killing of innocent civilians because of a lack of sane gun control. Do we wait until our own children are shot, to do something about this problem? Living in fear of our neighbors and arming ourselves is no way to live; gun control must happen now!

  • Today is the Day to Talk About Reducing Gun Violence
    At Sandy Hook Elementary School, Connecticut, at least 20 very young children were shot and killed, likely at close range, along with several adults. Imagine, for just a moment, your child getting killed this way. Every day in America, 86 people are killed with guns and families are devastated. President Obama has yet to give Americans a real, detailed plan about how he will reduce the epidemic of gun violence in this country. Mr. President, today IS the day to talk about real solutions. And today, we demand that you tell us your plan.

  • Save Our Children. Gun Control Now.
    Protecting our second amendment rights need to be balanced with the protection of our citizens. How many more senseless and entirely PREVENTABLE shootings have to occur before we do something about Gun Control. As a citizen and constituent of this great country, I am asking that you take a firm stand and make a positive change by restricting access to guns and saving lives. Even the many of us that own guns believe that further restricting access to handguns and assault riffles as well as eliminating extended magazine clips will save lives. Please take action on this issue. Thank you for your action!

  • Save our children from bullets!
    Recent events, such as the mass killing of innocent children in Newton, CT and elsewhere, indicate we need to control murder by firearms. Since we cannot control the guns, let's control the ammunition. Let's get the most restrictive ammunition legislation in world started. If you are a good shot, you only need one, maybe two bullets to kill a deer or squirrel.

  • Stop Senseless Gun Violence
    There are at least 26 dead in Newtown, CT, including 20 children. And all the White House can say is that "today is not the day" to consider stronger gun control. You're right, Mr. President, that was YESTERDAY. And every yesterday before that one. The yesterday before Columbine, Aurora, and more. Silence in the face of tragedy isn't respectfulness, it's cowardice.

  • Control Guns Before Guns Kill Us
    To all citizens of the United States: today, Dec. 14, 2012, 20 children and 6 adults were shot dead by a gunman in an elementary school in Connecticut. Last night in China, 25 elementary school students were wounded by a knife attack, however not one person did not make it out alive. The reason why all of these children will be able to return home once again is because China has enacted laws ensuring that not everyone with an identification and drivers license has the right to obtain a gun. We will never be able to prevent people like the gunman and the knifeman from existing in our society, however we can decide whether we want our children recovering in the hospital after an attack like this, or dead. The difference is staggering between how much we spend to defend ourselves from foreign threats that have yet to make themselves present, and how much we spend to keep ourselves safe from mass shootings that happen far too often on our own soil. Gun manufacturers make billions of dollars from not having gun control. How much more of our blood can we afford to shed to maintain these industries? Countries like Japan and Norway are proving that we are falling farther and farther behind developed countries where people live a better life without wielding guns. The right to bear arms ends when the 89 percent of Americans who own guns were unable to protect 20 children from being shot dead, and when the good these arms do is a nearly nonexistent drop in the sea of devastation that they cause. Banning the use of all automatic weapons and having more strict gun control laws are the first steps to take in ending these fully preventable tragedies in the United States. I therefore ask all of my fellow Americans to consider while having their dinners tonight the twenty six of our families that will never have another meal with their loved ones again.

  • Lawmakers: Innocent children have died. Change the GUN LAWS NOW!
    I haven't been personally affected by the shooting at the Connecticut elementary school but innocent children have died at the hand of deranged gun carrying citizens. These types of crimes are happening too frequently. I believe this is due to the lack of gun control. It is time out for crying. We need to CHANGE the gun laws ASAP and make it almost impossible for anyone to get or carry a gun.
