We are concerned that gun ownership has gotten way out of hand and that there aren't enough Constitutional limitations on gun ownership. The 2nd Amendment is outdated as it was written when people owned MUSKETS. We need an updated amendment that reflects the realities of modern society and gun technology and that protects innocents from gun violence through restrictions on the types of weapons that can be owned, levies insurance of gun owners to cover the cost of those who are wounded or killed by guns, and protections for non-gun owners against the increasing threat of gun violence.

Because I as a supporter for the second amendment and my natural right to defend myself from any threats to myself or those I care about, as well as yours is slowly being stripped away. And I cannot abide this type of slow tyranny.

because no one else will

Gun violence is a recurring tragedy in Oregon with a person dying from a gunshot almost every day. Horrific shootings like those at Reynolds High School and Clackamas Town Center focus our attention on this public health crisis and the need for our leaders to take action. It is time for the Oregon Legislature to act to reduce gun violence. In both 2013 and 2014, the Legislature declined to bring gun violence legislation to the floor for a vote. Although no single law will end gun violence, there are simple, proven steps to reduce violence – like requiring a background check every time someone buys a gun. We, the people of Oregon, demand that our leaders take action to address gun violence. It is a preventable tragedy and the time for excuses is over. We call on our legislators to act, and to commit themselves to action today. We will be watching.

In the wake of yet another mass shooting, it's time for progressives to demand that our elected officials stand up to the NRA and fight for strong gun control legislation. Representative Linda Orange has been one of the most gun-friendly Democrats in Connecticut's legislature, earning an endorsement and an A rating from the NRA. But as 2014 shapes up to be an election about gun control in Connecticut, Representative Orange needs to be clear about whether she'll stand with progressives, or kowtow to the NRA and its allies on the radical right.

I will not patronize any store national chain that allows guns in their store in any state in the country. In California that is not a problem, but for a few days I wouldn't patronize Chipotle, e.g., Target Stores until they adopt such a policy.

Since the Newtown, CT shooting in late 2012, there have been nearly 50 mass shootings across the country. Enough is enough. It's time to end gun violence. Our right to be safe in our communities should not take a back seat to the right to own guns without regulation. Let's take a stand against gun violence!

We have all been affected by this increased violence. It would help the state with the extra expense of protecting our citizens and schools during these violent attacks. Considering the success of the extra tax on tobacco and alcohol the state and citizens should benefit from this tax. We need it now!

I go to UCSB, where 6 students were murdered by a man with registered weapons. If the government can track guns, they may be able to put a stop to school shootings, among other crimes and tragedies. No one should have the right to secretly go into any area and kill random people. #notonemore #weallhaverights #guntracking . Lastly, the government does not have to control the site, it could be controlled by the people who make the guns.

Six people were killed and thirteen were injured in a horrific rampage in Santa Barbara, California on Friday, including three who were shot and killed. Richard Martinez, the father of one of the shooting victims, had this to say: "When will this insanity stop? When will enough people say, 'Stop this madness!' Too many have died. We should say to ourselves, "Not one more!' " Stand with the families and communities affected by these shootings. Please send your personal message of condolences, and we’ll make sure to share them with the Santa Barbara community. Together, we're sending a signal of the growing movement to end gun violence in America -- and your message is an important part of that fight.

31,000 people die every year due to gun violence, 71,000 are injured and every 3 hours and 15 minutes a child is killed or injured by a gun. The gun lobby wants to ban all research by the CDC on the effects of gun violence in our country. Don't let them do it.
