Recently there has been a manhunt for former police officer Christopher Doner. Police have fired without warning or provocation, upon several innocent law abiding citizens who basically had a 10% match to the suspect and/or his vehicle. Several people have been hospitalized and thousands of dollars of property damage has occured. Personally I am one thousand times more afraid of being shot by the police than the murder suspect they are looking for.

Concerned citizens have proposed many gun control legislations, but law-abiding gun owners don't want to give up their right to bear arms. So, prove you know how to use them safely. Undergo certified training from a trained professional to show you know how to safely keep and use a firearm. This will help keep firearms from those who should not have them, and training can be pursued as part of a mandatory 30-day waiting period.

Vernon T Bateman is a young man wrongfully convicted of a crime he did not commit! Please spread the word and join us in New Castle Dec 9th 8am(est). This all started in 1998 when he was charged of rape without any proof, only based on accusations. The rape kit was done but not used to set him free. He had the burden of proof. This is a wrongful conviction! Based on a sworn statement from Doctor Winston when this case was first brought to trial, there was no evidence of any forced entry, semen or DNA on her to convict Vernon Bateman. Nurse Koppen testified that she perfomed the sexual assault kit and was given to Det Mary Banks and was passed on to prosecution. The prosecution testified it was destroyed, We must put a stop to this injustice!!! Help us bring this to justice! Vernon has been locked up again because of Parole. They are making it hard for him. Its almost like he has been framed. We are asking everyone to please join us in New Castle along with his attorneys and our Congressional leaders on December 9th for a hearing to determined if he will be freed or not. The board has to hear both sides. Lets come together. Enough is Enough!!This has happened to many. How many more do we have to fight for? Our goal is to reunite him with his daughter and family and free him and vindicate him of all charges! To God be the Glory!!

Police Violence and institution of Men of Color killed on imprisoned. Men work for less than minimum wage for big corporations. When leaving prison, they have nothing.

Banning assault weapons in Washington State, requiring background checks for a history of violence and certain types of mental illness and banning high capacity ammunition cartridges.

The lack of regulatory policies as currently exist in states such as Arizona unconsciounably authorize and perpetuate the irresponsible use of weapons by those who prefer to not be law abiding citizens. The continued daily use of weapons in illegal ways may not be totally eliminated, but enforcing more substantial regulation can only help to prevent needless tragedy. If one life is saved, it will be worth the effort.

As the daughter and granddaughter of small business gun owners, I grew up with handguns and rifles and a healthy respect for their potential danger. We were not even allowed as children to point a stick at another person, much less a weapon. For our children's sake, we must be concerned about the proliferation of assault weapons and semi-automatics and gun violence in our society. It is time to ban these types of guns and require strict background checks and regulation of any gun ownerships. Our right to bear arms should not forfeit our public trust and safety.

I have several friends & one family member who have been arrested one or more times simply for the petty possession of marijuana. This harmless drug is putting the wrong citizens in jail for all the wrong reasons.

When the mass murder occured in Conncecticut it was the final straw. Every mass shooting is appalling, but 20 kindergarteners & first graders litterally vaporized by an assault weapon.....we MUST insist on banning assault weapons and their multi round ammunition magazines. We are planning to deliver the petition to Congressman Lattas' office in Bowling Green on March 7th at 2:00pm

Reguirements of proof of weapon registration and background checks for purchase of ammunition; clearance of eligibility to make purchases; registration of all purchases into data bank used for checks. The focus is upon what is possible to regulate. Obviously, restriction of gun ownership and possession is not feasible, but control of ammunition is feasible to regulate. At 72 years old, I am tired of excuses and no courage to address a problem that has reached a national crisis and denial continues from NRA and greedy weapons industry.

WE MUST RESIND " STAND YOUR GROUND " IT IS AN EXCUSE FOR MURDER !!

curtailing gun ownership. I realize this is much broadeer than most petitions presently pending, but I believe thsi is needed. Easy? Certainly not. Possible, probable. Needed defionitely there are mor innocent people killed by handguns every year.
