At any point, the North Carolina State Senate could consider H.B. 937 - legislation that would allow for guns on university and community college campuses, at assemblies where admission is charged (like stadiums and concert halls), parks, restaurants, and bars.  The House has already passed this outrageous bill and we must stop it in the Senate. This legislation is part of the gun lobby's playbook of pushing guns into every public space they can.  We need to send a message to State Senate President Berger and the Senate that guns don't belong on our college campuses or places like parks, restaurants, and bars. The University of North Carolina System, along with the League of Municipalities and others all oppose this legislation.

We have seen too many innocent people killed or murdered by Guns; children, students, and general public being killed by Guns. The time has come to ask our elected officials in Congress and the President to amend the US Constitution and abolish the second amendment.

Kelly Ayote voted against background checks on guns letting criminal and the mentally ill have weapons. This is outrageous and she needs to start listing to us.

Stop the killing of American's innocent children and innocent bystanders.

Gun Control improvements: Urgent that you keep pressure for reform on despite setback. We are elders and our common wisdom sees this plain as day: ban assault weapons, magazines over 10 bullets and institute background checks.

There are so many issues affecting this country but two stand out... a) the gun control issue..we can have common sense about the First Amendment (no yelling fire in a movie theatre)-Freedom of Speech---but no compromise about the 2nd? b) the amount of money, supplied by special interests, to both sides of the political arena, make us a highly corrupt system. We talk about being a Democracy but, in fact, we are more concerned with capital than with freedom

To resolve the gun problem, my answer is to repeal the 2nd amendment. It is not being enforced as was it's intention -- "militia". Also it was written 200 years ago when a rifle fired ONE bullet and took several minutes to reload. I believe guns only belong in the hands of law enforcement and the military. As far as hunting, I don't see how killing a helpless deer is a sport!

My back ground I live in Oakland,Ca with my mother and their is lot of crime and robberies in Oakland,Ca in east and west Oakland.

One day a loving family sent their 6 year old to school and he came back with 11 bullet holes in him. I cannot even begin to wrap my brain around the idea of a little child with 11 bullet holes.

The right to NOT own a gun.

Way too many Americans are being killed by gun violence. Look at the facts. Countries that have tighter gun restrictions have fewer deaths by gun violence.

the largest number of guns and ammo sold in this country are sold by Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart refuses to listen when we tell them how very personal this is with us because OUR children are being killed. Let us show them with the loss of our dollars that we will not shop there for ANYTHING until they stop providing the means for murder. No lines of protesters in the hot sun or in the cold.. Drop off a note saying why you are not shopping there any more.
