• Ban The Newly Released Video Game"The Slaying of Sandy Hook Elementary"
    Ryan Jake Lambourn, a video game developer of Sydney Austraila has created an allegedly "pro gun control" video game that simulates the tragic and devastating events of the Sandy Hook Elementary shootings. Lambourn callously released the video game on the first anniversary of the tragedy. The game opens with the user obtaining a glock handgun and shooting their mother just as Adam Lanza did and proceeds to direct the user (virtual shooter) to storm from classroom to classroom with an AR-15 rifle shooting victims. The game displays a "Kill Ratio" along the way and climaxes with the user turning the gun on himself when the police arrive. There are no words for the existence of this repugnant video game or for the sheer irresponsibility and insensitivity of Ryan Lambourn for creating it. Lambourn claims that the video game is advocating for gun control but somehow the irony of that statement escapes him. This video game glorifies the killer of Sandy Hook a murderous person with an obsession with "first person shooter" video games such as the one that Lambourn has created in the name of Sandy Hook. Further,it makes light of a National Tragedy, blatantly minimizes the pain and suffering of the Sandy Hook families, and disrespects the memory of their slaughtered children and teachers. Ask Ryan Jake Lambourn of Googumproduce to self regulate and remove this wildly misguided and offensive video game from existence and publicly apologize to the families and victims of Sandy Hook Elementary. Ryan Lambourn may be contacted directly through his twitter account @googumproduce. His company website is googumproduce.com. Please be sure that he hears our collective voice.

  • Long Guns Need to be in a carrying case when carried in public in Arizona
    I am starting this petition because of the incident on June 25, 2013 in which a young man was photographed carrying a loaded AR-15 rifle on a Tucson Sun-Tran bus. This photo and article appeared on the KVOA TV station web site on June 26th. A man sitting opposite the gun carrying youth felt threatened and told the bus driver. The bus driver stated it was legal. The frightened passenger got off at the next stop. I believe that if one is carrying a long gun on public transportation or in other public areas, the long gun should be in an appropriate carrying case.

  • Victims of Gun Violence Remembrance Day
    More than 30,000 people are killed by firearms each year in America. Random gun violence and mass shooting at malls, movie theaters and schools have become too common in America and we are becoming numb to many of these events. Victims of Gun Violence Remembrance Day provides us an opportunity to remember and honor these innocent victims. We honor Veterans who give their lives (voluntarily) to protect our freedoms. We need to honor all the innocent victim who lost their lives or have been damaged (involuntarily) due to gun violence or gun accidents.

  • The NRA, and Gun Manufactures deny PTSD
    It's the right thing to do for the men and women who have to witness these terrible tragedies, and then to try and return to a normal life, and their jobs. PTSD victims need help. It gives many of these people a lifetime of nightmares, flashbacks, and can lead to suicide if left untreated.

  • Sign for Better Regulatation of Firearms. Help Me Help You
    *Note: This is not to abolish the 2nd Amendment, this is to regulate the laws already in place and make new ones where needed.* Do you really want another Virginia Tech, how about Columbine, or the what about Aurora? Can you honestly say after last week's LAX shootings, the Naval Yard shooting, and December's Sandy Hook school shooting, that you feel 100% comfortable going out, more less sending your children out? Reforms to our nation's gun regulations are well past due, but I need your help to reach our goal. It's your turn to help me be your voice! Sign the petition and pass it along to your friends, coworkers, peers, and family. Post it to your Facebook page, Twitter, and Instagram and help me to help you make a difference. Thanks for your time, Malcolm J. Pitts -Working to Make Future Generations Safe-

  • Sign on to stop the unconscionable "Guns Save Lives Day."
    A political operation working with gun lobbyists decided to declare December 14 -- the anniversary of the tragic massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary -- "Guns Save Lives Day." You read that right. Naturally, they immediately bowed to pressure to not hold their crass political event on the anniversary of the shooting deaths of 28 people -- most of them children -- to score cheap political points and raise cash to support their organization. So they pushed it back -- one whole day. But they're still trying to profit -- politically and financially -- off of an unimaginable tragedy. Please take a second to add your name to our open letter to make them cancel this ghoulish sideshow. I've worked in politics a long time. But it is really rare to see something so crass and so brazen as to try to exploit the senseless deaths of children to build your network and raise money to support the very thing that stole them from their parents and friends. Even worse, their terrible antics give a bad name to so many well-intentioned gun owners -- the majority of whom fully support sensible reforms like I-594, our initiative to require background checks on all gun purchases in Washington.

  • GOVERNOR BROWN: STOP THE KILLINGS WITH ASSAULT WEAPONS
    Californians die every year from gun violence because of loopholes that permit criminals and dangerously mentally-ill people to get their hands on military-type guns, which have only one purpose–to kill human beings. Governor Brown recently vetoed SB 374, which would have banned sales or possession of semi-automatic rifles with detachable ammunition clips, –- the very kind of guns that were used in the mass murders of theater-goers in Colorado and innocent children in Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, and in the LAX killing on November 1, 2013. Most gun safety advocates are not after legitimate gun owners' weapons which are used for hunting or self-protection--that's a false rumor spread by the Gun Lobby and the NRA to frighten gun owners into thinking we want to take their guns away. Sign this petition to urge Governor Brown to stand up to the Gun Lobby and the NRA--to protect innocent Californians from slaughter by criminals and dangerously mental-ill persons.

  • Keep Guns Out of the Hands of Children
    Darrel had just started High School when his girlfriend broke-up with him. At home, and alone with his anguish, he used a shotgun to take his own life. He was 14. Each year, hundreds of children and teens die in Washington as a result of access to guns and other gun safety issues. They are not just victims of their own impulses; they are also victims of negligence by otherwise intellegent gun owners. Teaching proper safety precautions and requiring satey exams and insurance for gun owners will greatly reduce the incidence of tragedies like Darrel's.

  • Tighter U.S. Gun Legislation to Prevent Homicide, Suicide, and Accidents
    Yesterday in Austin, TX (October 16, 2013), a 17-year-old student and father of a 1-year-old baby took a gun to school and shot himself at lunchtime in the school courtyard. I am reminded of my own personal gun tragedies every time I hear of killings with guns. The pain and guilt of losing a loved one tragically does not go away. I was 11 when my brother took his life with a family rifle. My severely depressed mother purchased a gun two years later and killed herself. Please help me change gun laws in the U.S.

  • America: Let's quit killing our own people
    I am a retired pediatrician. I am worried about, and appalled by how many children have been killed and maimed (mentally and physically) by firearms. We have spent and continue to spend untold billions of dollars and other resources protecting ourselves from foreign invaders (Think 9/11) But we have been cowards in the face of the gun lobby, even though we ourselves kill ten times more of our own people yearly,with our own guns than one invader did once.. We are brave enough to defend ourselves against those who threaten us from the outside. Why have we been cowed by the gun lobby? Let's change that. Let's find the courage to stand up to the NRA and their ilk. Let's pass sensible gun laws to protect ourselves from ourselves, because, actually, people do kill people.
