My very being is affected every time there I hear about a mass shooting. That single persons are provided the means to carry out such acts, but the general public is not allowed to research what leads to them, is not in line with the 2nd amendment.

Google actively promotes companies that advertise and sell military style weapons and paraphernalia. Google Shopping lists companies that sell guns directly over the internet; Youtube hosts thousands of videos that celebrate, advertise, and instruct people on the use of these products. Most people working at Google have strong principles and try to do the right thing. It's time for management to demonstrate a level of social responsibility consistent with the company's influence and market power. Google's leadership team doesn't have to take a public position on the first and second amendments; it just needs to take a position on its corporate values. If you say "Don't be Evil", then explain and demonstrate what you mean. From Google's "Code of Conduct" “Don’t be evil.” Googlers generally apply those words to how we serve our users. But “Don’t be evil” is much more than that ... it’s also about doing the right thing... acting honorably... https://abc.xyz/investor/other/google-code-of-conduct.html

After Orlando, we un-successfully petitioned Metro to eliminate gun shows. We were told that ending shows would push the problem to other jurisdictions. Each jurisdiction should consider the problem. I am saddened and angered by the mass shootings and everyday gun violence that we as a society can choose to stop. Now, we can act. By eliminating gun shows, we send a clear message that we want to be part of the multiple levels of solutions required to end this epidemic in our country.

I don't have to be personally impacted by gun violence in order to have concern for others who have. If I can protect my loved ones ahead of an incident, then, my actions will have been effective.

Almost weekly you see headlines about gun violence. Immediately each side start shouting the usual arguments. But what are the facts. For years, scientists have been forbidden to gather the information to make rational decisions that can effect the lives of every US citizen.

There are insufficient regulations, laws or licensure to keep mentally healthy, law abiding citizens safe from weapons of mass destruction, which is what automatic, semi automatic and assault weapons are in the hands of the public. The congress has proven unable to provide for the general public safety on this issue and the public must take action!

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! We must stop the SHUSH Act from becoming law! The public should be able to attend concerts, sporting events, or other large gatherings without having to worry about a madman with an assault rifle and a SILENCER! In the latest mass shooting in Las Vegas, with at least 50 killed, people could HEAR the gun shots, and were warned there was an active shooter from the noise. There is no logic to enabling silencers, and yet the #CorruptGOP led Congress is set to once again do the NRA's bidding. NO to the SUSH ACT!

Many enjoy watching funny, harmless videos on YouTube. To have to endure even 4 seconds of the harsh and violent content of several recent NRA videos is disturbing. Even worse, children could be exposed to these "ads" over and over and over. It is unacceptable and irresponsible to disguise a call for violence and division as an "ad" and for YouTube to expose unsuspecting audiences to this violent propaganda.

The NRA is using dangerous language to rally their members against progressives and people of color. In a vicious and incendiary recruitment ad, filled with images from recent demonstrations, the NRA creates an illusion of safety for their members by threatening the safety of others. MomsRising unequivocally joins the Women's March and other partners in denouncing the video and calling on the NRA to take the following actions: 1. Take down the recent irresponsible and dangerous videos from all social platforms immediately. 2. Issue an apology to the American people for the video that suggests armed violence against communities of color, progressives, and anyone who does not agree with this Administration's policies. 3. Make a statement in defense of Philando Castile's Second Amendment right to own a firearm, demanding that the Department of Justice indict the police officer who killed Castile for exercising that right.

I am starting this petition on behalf of the families who lost their children and loved ones due to the horrific Sandy Hook tragedy.

We respectfully request that the Planning and Zoning Commission of Mundelein deny the request for a variance for the proposed property at 800 East Route 45, Mundelein. We believe that the location of a business which would sell firearms and ammunition to civilians would be better suited to an area already zoned for that usage and that such areas already exist in the village of Mundelein. The property at 800 East Route 45 abuts a day care center, two residential neighborhoods, a retirement home, and is on a main thoroughfare within a mile of three churches, youth baseball and softball fields, and a day camp. We, the undersigned, do not believe that this business is consistent with the Planning and Zoning Commission’s Comprehensive Plan because it would not strengthen existing industrial and business uses. We also believe that it would not revitalize the area as a shopping destination and community gateway because the existing neighboring retail properties are already occupied.

Update: Dec. 6, 2017 Today, the House of Representatives is due to vote on HR 38. (S. 446 & H.R. 38) would redefine who could carry a loaded, concealed weapon in public areas across the nation. Currently, states designate their own laws concerning who is qualified to carry a weapon and this law will undermine the authority of the state. This legislation is extremely dangerous because it would allow the states with the weakest gun laws to set the standard for the nation. For example: "states that have taken the most lax approach to concealed weapons permitting would effectively set the national standard, allowing individuals with no safety training, with violent misdemeanor convictions, or with a demonstrated history of drug or alcohol abuse to legally carry concealed, loaded guns in every state in the country."(1) Most importantly, one version of this legislation would allow individuals who live in states with no training or permit requirements to carry in states that do require such measures. Tell President Trump and Congress to continue to allow individual states to maintain local control and determine their own safety laws concerning who can carry loaded, concealed weapons. Please sign and share this petition with others. Thanks for taking action. _____________________ 1) https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/guns-crime/reports/2017/02/13/414921/federally-mandated-concealed-carry-legislation/
