Members of Congress have only thoughts and prayers to offer after countless mass shootings in our country. We demand that they work together to find a sensible response beyond thoughts and prayers that might include new gun regulations, and funds for adequate mental health care and anger management education. Before they can do this, they must cut the ties to campaign funds from the gun lobby. Money from the gun lobby, and specifically the NRA, should be seen as an absolute non-starter if one wants to seek election to public office.

A veteran of the Air Force recently committed a terrible massacre in Texas. Adding to this devastating tragedy is the revelation that if the military had reported this veteran's record of violence against his wife and child, he never would have been able to purchase the weapons he used to kill 26 churchgoers. Pentagon policies already require the military to report violent crimes like domestic abuse, but this isn't happening, and this notification failure is putting lives at risk. Tell the Armed Services Committee to instruct all branches of the military to enforce this reporting and conduct a comprehensive review to make sure other violent offenders haven't fallen through the cracks.

America's need for Semi Automatic guns is spinning out of control. Realistically no one needs access to these weapons except tactical military and police. It is time to overhaul the second amendment.

Our elected officials should not be accepting campaign contributions from the National Rifle Association. How can they be unbiased on NRA matters that come before them if they are receiving NRA money. We sent them to Washington to work on our behalf. Ninety percent of voters say they want background checks on all gun sales. And yet, the people we send to vote on our behalf do nothing to protect the American people from the proliferation of guns.

We are sickened by the repeated massacres of innocent people by crazies with assault rifles. Gun regulation needs to be talked about and legislated NOW.

Enough is enough without concrete gun laws.

We are all affected by the lack of sensible gun control policy.

This is to prevent the senseless mass murders that are too common in the United States

How many have to die before Congress takes action? The NRA has deep pockets, but what if Congress didn't take any of it? I think that would change the dialog. We demand action today.

The NRA blocks reasonable gun safety legislation and wants military assault weapons, silencers and armor piercing bullets accessible with no background checks. Our elected officials must reject the NRA.

It is time to break the stranglehold the NRA has on our members of Congress! It is time for new gun control laws that reflect & benefit the citizenry, not gun manufacturers, nor their paid for Congressional stooges.

Mass shootings in America are caused by those legally in our country and in nearly all cases, by American born citizens. Our representatives spend time and money on extreme vetting of people from specific counties in fear of terrorism but spend no time or money protecting us from domestic terrorism. We need background checks at all events in which people can buy fire arms, a registry for those who want semi-automatic guns or equipment that makes them fully automatic, a system that alerts local government when someone has purchased multiple weapons, restrictions on internet and gun show sales. Nearly every mass shooting since 1982 has been perforned using legally obtained guns.
