Fix The Gun Control Background Check SystemIn the wake of the Parkland massacre on February 14, it is clearly necessary that We the People of the United States of America mandate that our government take active steps to ensure our safety by improving the background check system used to determine who can purchase and possess firearms. This legislation has bipartisan support and has been introduced by Senators John Cornyn (R-TX), Tim Scott (R-SC), Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Dean Heller (R-NV), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), and Chris Murphy (D-CT). Furthermore, we must hold our government accountable and ensure the law is properly implemented. After the Virginia Tech shooting, Congress and the President passed legislation authorizing $1.3 Billion to be spent on improving this system but actually only spent a fraction of the authorized amount. Hundreds of people's lives could have been saved had they simply done their job.

Repeal the Dickey Amendment!Knowledge is power. "Because of the Dickey Amendment, there has been almost no publicly funded research on gun violence, leaving lawmakers without critical studies needed to write legislation to combat this epidemic. Even the author of the amendment, former Congressman Jay Dickey, came to regret the piece of policy and called on Congress to reverse the law.

Gun ControlStatistics reveal that our country is much more violent than many other countries in the world which is a horrible reflection on our nation. Other developed nations have established gun control so we have examples to study as we can improve our country like they have done. Safety for all by limiting the guns available can happen with leaders who are committed to those which is what the majority of the country wants. Do we have to become worse than Yemen before we decide there is a problem? Hopefully not.3 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Brenda Burns

Tell Etsy to stop showcasing guns and gun artToday when I opened my Etsy trends email I saw a picture of a Glock gun magazine connector. I never look at guns, so I was horrified to find this among my interests. Even worse, throughout the page of choices there were several offerings of gun-related merchandise. Some were overtly sexual. After the horrors of the recent school shootings, this made me heartsick. Is Etsy now part of the NRA gun culture? Tell Etsy to stop offering gun-related merchandise NOW! To see screenshots I took, please visit my site at www.olivialarosa.com.51 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Deborah Lagutaris LaRosa

Teachers Won't Carry!As a teacher of 20 years I know, as do my colleagues around the country, that a teacher's main responsibilities are to educate, love, and support her/his students. To ask any of us, in a gun-related crisis, to participate in the carnage and further endanger the students we so love is unacceptable. We are neither qualified nor willing to participate in such a short-sighted, ignorant policy that would ultimately add to the risk and to the loss of life in an already volatile situation. We demand that defensive, NOT offensive solutions be explored and implemented.470 of 500 SignaturesCreated by Scott

Stop the NRA Bribe MoneyStop the flow of money from organizations like the NRA to our legislators. Demand that the Supreme Court overturn "Citizens United", the Supreme Court decision that has allowed organizations like the NRA to unlimited amounts of money to the Congress and Senate. Unless the money is stopped nothing will change.20 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Kathy McKee
