• Gun Swap Program: Guns for Tablets
    In the past week, there have been another two news stories regarding guns that have received international attention: the brilliantly thwarted potential massacre in another elementary school, in Atlanta, Georgia, and the random fatal shooting of an Australian exchange student in Oklahoma. When I heard in a foreign news report, about Mexico City's Gun Swap Program, I had to wonder: Why isn't this being tried in the U.S.? - It sounds like just what we need.

  • Sen. Ayotte, It's Time: Host a Gun Violence Prevention Town Hall
    It’s been four months since Senator Ayotte voted against criminal background checks and the 89% of her constituents who support them. Since then, she’s screened out constituent questions on the topic, dodged press interviews, and rotated through reasons why she sided with the NRA lobby over Granite State families. It's high time Senator Ayotte held a gun violence prevention town hall so that constituents can speak with her directly about this important topic. Please help us call on Senator Ayotte to hold a town hall on gun violence prevention during Congressional recess this month.

  • Rep. Joe Heck: Co-Sponsor HR 1565 to keep guns out of the hands of criminals
    Nevada is the 9th deadliest state for gun violence and has the 4th highest gun homicide rate among women. Felons and domestic abusers can buy guns on the Internet and from private sellers at gun shows. The majority of Nevadans support background checks on gun sales. Ask Rep. Joe Heck to co-sponsor HR 1565 which extends background checks to Internet and gun show sales.

  • Repeal the Castle Doctrine Expansion (Shoot First Law)
    This is a plea to Representative Jake Wheatley to open up discussions for repealing the Castle Doctrine Expansion (PA's version of Stand Your Ground). While his intentions to protect his constituents from violent crime are commendable and certainly understandable...these types of laws INCREASE the numbers of "justifiable homicides".

    North Carolina's Stand Your Ground law allows citizens to defend themselves from a threat of violence without first being required to retreat. This law allows a wild west mentality and fails to hold the shooter to a moral or reasonable standard unlike the self defense law that requires you must first try to retreat.

  • BOYCOTT THE STATE OF FLORIDA
    The time has come to stand up and say enough is enough to the murders. Nothing gets the attention of a state like cutting off the flow of money into that state. If you agree that enough is enough, and the time has come to make a change for the better, than sign this petition and pass it on to everyone you know.

  • Repeal HB 24 - Stand Your Ground Law
    HB 24 suggests the encouragement of armed individuals to confront others knowing that they could legally use a firearm if they felt "threatened." The word threatened means many things to many people that adds to the vagueness of this law which can be extremely easy for misinterpretation by the public. Eliminating the duty to retreat (other than is someone is on their own property) will cause more violence than the law intends to prevent.

  • A Full Pardon for Marissa Alexander
    Equal justice under the law! Marissa Alexander killed no one and got 20 years. A battered wife and mother, she fired a warning shot to scare off her abusive husband, and gets 20 years in prison. Meanwhile, George Zimmerman murders Trayvon Martin and was set free! This is NOT equal justice! Stand your ground didn't work for Marissa or Trayvon. Why? They are black!
