Car owners are required to register their cars and carry automobile insurance to cover any damages their cars may cause. Guns can be even more deadly. Gun owners should not be treated more favorably than car owners. In the event of death or injury, victims and their families should be compensated through insurance instead of being forced to rely on public assistance

This is a petition to targeted members of the United States Congress asking them to support sensible gun safety legislation.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation is located in Newtown, CT. Even after the devastating loss of innocent life right here in their own town, this organization refuses to support federal universal background checks. The NSSF is the #2 Gun Lobby in the US. The vast majority of Americans are in favor of federal legislation requiring universal background checks that would close the "gun show loophole" in every state, as well as other "private" transactions that allow people to obtain firearms without a check. The NSSF is fighting against such a change. We demand the NSSF tell Congress and Newtown that it has had a change of heart and supports universal background check legislation.

This petition voices the opinions of the people of Colorado. This petition is started in opposition to the new gun control laws that have now plagued Colorado. We are petitioning to have Gov. Hickenlooper removed from office. And replaced with a more traditional gun friendly candidate. Hickenlooper has said our opinions and voices dont matter. Show him he was wrong to think that and it will cost him his job!

We pay the Senators and we deserve a vote. We need to see the votes on record so that we can challenge our representatives. A vote on record cannot be disputed.

Right now Congress is on the verge of caving on the three measures we thought could be passed after the Newtown massacre: universal background checks, a ban on assault weapons, and a ban on high-capacity magazines. Although a vast majority of Americans favor all three, we might get none of them, just more guns – in schools! It’s because lawmakers are listening to gun manufacturers via their mouthpiece, the NRA, the lobby with the big bucks. We must speak right now. Sign the petition - it will take a minute. This time it is aimed at all our Senators and Representatives in DC, plus our electeds in the Kansas statehouse. Tell them we don’t want a society that celebrates ever more guns when statistics and costs showing their accidental damage makes us all less safe.

House passed gun law to take away local governments right to pass ordinances on gun safety.

Much has been debated around gun safety legislation. All pending legislation attempts to control the acts of individuals while none pursues the manufacturers. I want Congress to repeal the 2005 law immunizing gun manufacturers from product liabilty.

In the U.S. there have been nearly as many people killed by guns since the Newtown massacre as were murdered on 9/11. In light of Sen. Harry Reid's repulsive and timid sellout in giving up on bringing the Assault Weapons Ban to a vote in the Senate, We The People must declare to all in Washington, D.C., that Our actions, Our will, and Our collective determination to hold elected officials accountable will prevail and the Assault Weapons Ban will become the law of this land. Our land. Senators abandoned their obligation to stand up on this issue and make their votes known. Americans will now stand up and make their convictions on this issue known.

Senator Reid capitulated to the NRA by refusing to put Senator Feinstein's Assault Weapons Ban bill to a vote. THIS IS WRONG, and MUST BE REVERSED

Senator Diane Feinstein's Assault Weapons Ban will not be included in the Democrats Senate version of the gun-control bill. You can read about it at http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2013/03/19/assault-weapons-ban-won-t-be-in-senate-gun-bill.html . Senator Diane Feinstein can introduce it as an amendment, but Harry Reid dropped the Assault Weapons Ban from being included in the bill. Sign this petition to tell Harry Reid it is time to stop listening to the NRA and listen to the voters. We want the Assault Weapons Ban included in the Bill. After Newtown and many more massacres, it is time for the politicians to put the safety of the public ahead of politics.
