  • Legitimize Gun Ownership through ownership registration, operator licensure and mandatory insura...
    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.

  • SAVE We the People from Gun Violence
    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.

  • Off The Streets: Allow The Use For Marijuana Recreational
    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

  • WELL REGULATED REQUIREMENTS FOR PURCHASE OF AMMUNITION;
    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.

  • Inmate sentencing
    This petition is in regards to certain inmates being given a more harsh sentence than others for the same crime; in conjunction with, inmates being oversenteced because of a crime that could have happened and not exactly what happened. My husband was sentenced to life in prison for being in the wrong place at the wrong time..This has destroyed my family and my children has suffered tremendously. Broken homes play a major role in the inflation of the crime rate and I feel the restoration of parents in the home will have a positive affect on our society has a whole.
