against assault weapons

Assault weapons and large quantity ammo clips are for the military.

Celebratory Gunfire is a reckless and Intrusive threat to human life in Georgia. Every year in Georgia Innocent people are wounded and or killed due to this activity. Marquel Peters and Sergio Martinez are just a small representation of people that lost their lives due to this activity in Georgia. This must stop.

Every day 34 Americans are murdered with guns, more than one every hour. Every day without action by Congress is letting the equivalent of another tragedy like Sandy Hook, or Aurora, or Tucson, or Virginia Tech happen. It's past time for you to help stop the senseless gun violence. Stand with the safety of our children and communities instead of the NRA and the gun and ammo industry.

At the Newtown Memorial Service you declared, for the death of twenty children and seven adults, “I’ll use whatever power this office holds…in an effort aimed at preventing more tragedies like this.” Since you spoke those words, more than 50 fellow human beings have been murdered in Chicago alone, where last year’s gang-connected violence excelled 18 times the number in Newtown, where “since 2001 Chicago has recorded more than 5,000 gun-related deaths.”* “Tragedies!” Because we empathize with the suffering of others and value human life as do you, we believe you have the power and the courage to transform your words “enough is enough,” to l’chaim – for life!

This petition is to let our state legislators know that we oppose this new bill which restricts our individual rights.

Case in Newtown breaks heart of anyone. We need to make laws that will make accession to guns as hard as possible as I do not want gun to be easily accessible to people with psychological issues or people whose anger blinds their consciousness at the time of unstable situation. It is crucial for the whole nation to know that the one we love will not be victim of the gun violence in the country which is not in the war in its literal meaning.

As you may know, our city councillor, Steve Kozachik, has recently taken the position that gun shows, which sell guns without background checks, shouldn't be permitted on city owned property. Here's a quote: “Continuing to allow person-to-person gun sales without the requirement of any background checks is a clear threat to the health and safety of the community. If any place has a right to be sensitive about that, Tucson does,” Kozachik said. This is the kind of leadership we need more of, and we need to show our leaders that we support them!

There is growing support across the nation for abolishing our archaic death penalty laws, replacing them with life without the possibility of parole. Delaware can be a leader in carrying the nation fully into dealing with dangerous criminals by more effective, cost-efficient means and eliminating capital punishment altogether. There are compelling reasons to do so based on economy, morality, practicality, and even theology.

Anyone a victim of commenting suicide voice needs to be heard against mental prioters who make someone feel like taking their life. Any perpretor that makes a suicide victim comment suicide should be accountalble by law to go to prison for making the person commit suicide.

I am concerned that there are so many guns in our society that often times get in the hands of people who are not responsible. My son was killed 25 years go in Baltimore City, MD for no apparent reason other than someone thought they could. Many more have died in this city and across the nation since. Can't our gov't do something?

Stop giving the bad guys all the money.
