We need mass shooting prevention.

Thoughts and prayers are always the response and thoughts and prayers are never the answer. Find one.

Because I oppose violence. I care about children in general and I have two children of my own. The current gun laws are designed to protect profit, not people.

I am affected each time I learn of 'just ' another death. How can anyone be unconcerned about the use of guns, how they are obtained, who uses them; often, it is not the mentally ill. Don't use them as scapegoats. Often it is an individual who is closed- minded who uses a patriotic reason for having a gun in his holster and in the house. No more!

I am starting this petition because I'm tired of the constant stream of gun deaths in this country. I believe there are common sense approaches we can take to limit the amount of gun violence we're seeing. Enforcing gun laws that already exist and cracking down on illegal gun sales needs to become more of a priority. Mandatory wait periods should be enforced, during which time a thorough background check should be completed. Gun show loopholes have to be closed. Ammunition should not be sold online. Training and testing should also be mandatory. I believe that all of this can be enforced without infringing on the rights of responsible gun owners. We need to ask our leaders to take steps toward ending the problem of gun violence. We can't keep doing nothing and expecting change. Please join me and sign this petition.

S.B. 11 creates a culture of "gun permissiveness" on our campuses and prevents teachers from exercising their rights to ban weapons from the classroom.

I go to concerts and malls and wonder if something might happen. I worry about my nieces and nephews going to movies and classes. I don't want more guns in more peoples' hands to stop shooters; that's more craziness. I want to teach people better coping skills and more empathy. And its not just those with psychological issues. Easy access to guns makes shooting someone too easy instead of talking it out or walking away.

The gun violence in this country is unacceptable. We the citizens of this country should not have to fear death from firearms.

There is too much gun violence in America. I want my representatives to support laws to control guns and stop the violence.

I'm sick and tired of people who have no business owning a gun killing people.

We need to stop the slaughter of innocent people caused by guns. Every country has mentally ill people, but only the USA has so many gun victims. I own three guns and do not want guns taken away, but sane and sensible laws need to be passed, and the stranglehold the gun lobby has on our politicians needs to be stopped.

88 Americans are killed by gun violence every day in this country, with hundreds more injured. We're tired of waiting for Congress to act on gun violence. That's why Everytown for Gun Safety just sent President Obama five straightforward actions the White House can take to help curb gun violence, save lives, and reduce crime without waiting on Congress. We know President Obama is open to these ideas, but to overcome the NRA's aggressive opposition, we need to send an overwhelming message that we want real action NOW. Sign the petition to President Obama to tell him you support him in taking executive action to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people.
