• Realistic Gun Laws
    We sympathize with those who suffered a horrible loss in the recent wave of killings. However, we ask the public and politicians not be adversely effected by unbalanced individuals. It is those individuals that killed so many people – NOT THE FIREARM! A firearm is like a car. The only way a car can kill or injure someone is when it is being driven by an irresponsible individual. The only way a firearm can injure or kill, is if it used by an unbalanced individual or a criminal. We ask that President Obama not attempt to implement any unfair firearm laws. Good, honest, lawful individuals in the USA should be allowed to own firearms; just they are allowed to own vehicles.

  • Don't blame guns for criminal acts
    With all these shootings going on, many people are turning to outlaw firearms simply because of their own misinformation. It is a national tragedy that occurred at CT and my heart goes out to all the families. People need to get real, banning guns to stop crime is like banning cars because of drunk drivers. I for one will not stand by while uninformed individuals blame firearms for the acts of deranged individuals. We need harsher laws when it comes to background checks and private weapons sales. WE NEED TO EDUCATE our population about firearms and firearm safety!.

  • Do not punish those who use guns responsibly.
    Once again gun control and banning guns will be thrust into the spot light as it does every time a tragedy like this occurs.

  • Back ground checks
    My petition is not to take away the 2nd amendment but to do a background check on everybody who own guns yearly. A lot of things can happen to a person in a year. A yearly background check can help keep guns outta the hands of the wrong people. And it would help if they have a mentally unstable family member in the house hold that could cause a screen like the shooting in the elementary school that just recently happened. Please sign my petition. Like I said its not to take away the 2nd amendment but to help control the gun control.

  • Gun Control
    Another senseless tragedy occurred yesterday because people are allowed to buy semi-automatic weapons with multiple rounds. I'm not saying people shouldn't have shotguns and rifles for hunting, but the death toll in these tragedies wouldn't be so high if we stop the sell of these weapons capable of killing so many so fast.

  • Pass More Secure Gun Laws!
    I want this to happen because guns are always going to be dangerous, so I want to keep them as safe as possible. I am doing this because On the Day ofFriday, December 14th, 2012, a crazed man for no reason whatsoever killed 20 Elementary students and a few teachers. Again, he did this for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON!
