we should limit the gun that a person can have

Gun deaths and violence in the United States must stop.

There is NO reason for the sale to the public of ASSAULT RIFLES. There are plenty of inefficient gun control laws on the books - we don't need any more; we simply need to stop the sale of these weapons under the GUISE of freedom of speech.

I'd like to see all elected official in Congress on Obamacare Plan instead of the current royal system they enjoy at taxpayers' expense. If they want everyone to join to keep costs down, then why does Congress enjoy a Cadallac program that most American's can have.

Stopping corporations and the rich from stealing America

This petition aims to intercept the power of the NRA which has a grip on our congress and senate. The only way we will enact meaningful gun control legislation is if we remove the NRA from the political landscape, for BOTH parties. Think about how Grover Norquist used the "power of the pledge" to get Republicans to commit to never raising taxes--we can use this power in a positive way, to get politicians to publicly commit, by signing a Pledge, to never taking another dime of NRA political contributions. The petition itself--and your signatures--will be used to persuade representatives who currently take NRA contributions to sign a simple pledge that states they will no longer do so.

gun control and banning arsenal weapons

The Second Amendment ties guns to national safety and defense. Own a gun? No problem! Join the National Guard, go through the training, background checks, psychological screenings and correct weapon handling procedures and help secure and defend your country domestically and abroad, if need be.

Congress is not doing their job just fighting among their selfs like children if we did that we would be fired. Take away their pay & Health care we need to show them they are accountable to the people.

Protect the Second Amendment without altering it in any way as another petition declares. The Second Amendment is sacred and as important to our Constitution as the First and without the Second in place, we will surely lose our First Amendment. Laws are on the books and must be enforced to ensure criminals who use firearms irresponsibly are punished to the fullest extent of the law each and every time.

After so many people have lost their lives in the past weeks, it's time to take a stand and stop the people who are killing. The easiest way to do this is to outlaw guns for civilians. Don't let people get their hands on the weapons that have taken so many lives and caused so much grief.

It is the issue that underlies all others: money--particularly from corporations--is undermining our democracy. The Supreme Court, most infamously through the Citizens United ruling, has given corporations constitutional rights meant for individuals, leading to unlimited, anonymous spending on elections, and outsize corporate influence on government. "Over the longer term, I think we need to seriously consider mobilizing a constitutional amendment process to overturn Citizens United," wrote President Obama. "Even if the amendment process falls short, it can shine a spotlight of the super-PAC phenomenon and help apply pressure for change." January's inaugural address is an historic opportunity to galvanize support for an amendment--one that clearly states that We, the People of the United States of America move to amend our Constitution to firmly establish that money is not speech, and that human beings, not corporations, are persons entitled to constitutional rights.
