The gun violence epidemic is a threat to all Americans.This petition seeks to demonstrate support to the President and Congress for the Presidential Task Force's proposals regarding the regulation of assault weapons, high-capacity magazines, and the closing of registration and background-check loopholes.

As a father and a grandfather I want no one to have the opportunity to kill any of my offspring with weapons that should only be used in military type environments.

The poor come into contact with the police far more frequently than their white counterparts. This means a black teen may be stopped and questioned several times a day, merely due to his race or class. The people who end up defending these folks, both the guilty and the innocent, are the states Public Defenders.

Protecting (LIFE) Our Most Valued Possession

This petition seeks to find justice for the shooting of Mark Vanderhall Jr. who was shot seven times by a police officer on the streets of DC. Mark Jr. was already on the ground with 3 bullets in his body when the officer who is still working our streets today shot him an additional 4 times attempting to end his life.

President Obama and ultra-liberal democrats have proposed gun violence reduction laws. The only law that should be passed is strict background checks on all firearms purchases. The notion of banning "assault rifles" and limiting clip capacity is a violation of our civil rights under the U.S. Constitution. Join me in being safe, but fair for law abiding citizens.

child told cps lady she was touched by 9 yo step aunt.,then,i was told get exparte order. then, cps lady spoke to mother,who denied everything .they took child to foster care, then said im lying and coaching her and want to prosecute me!!

I have two ideas for some one to consider. You guys will have to do the work I don't have time. 1. Limit the TV News coverage these "mass shooters" receive, that's half their deal, to go down in history and make a big splash. 2. While you can't fight the 1st and 2nd Amendments, you could create a Task Force to administer a "Non-violent Movie and Computer Game" incentive for Hollywood and the Gaming Industry. Create a 10 million prize for the 'best' in a 'Movie' and a 'Game' category for best Non-violent movie or game. If you can't ban it or fight it, turn it around, create an incentive for what you want to see, for a new direction! There are already so many semi automatic weapons on the black market, a new ban simply will NOT prevent a 'nutcase' from getting a hold of one. Somebody sent this to President Obama, would ya?

With 300 million guns already on our streets, current proposals to close the gun show loophole and ban assault style weapons and large magazine clips are necessary but insufficient steps to curbing gun violence. Also needed is the regulation of ammunition sales.

Due to the problems that we have experienced in this country in recent year, I think it is time that a Federal Gun license be needed for owning or using a gun. We have fishing licenses for fishing, so why not for shooting? It would have to be needed in every state. If the parent in a family owns a gun and he or she lets her children use it, they would have to have a license too. The background check would be done in order to get a license, and it would need to be renewed, just like a drivers license,

Please sign to end gun violence towards innocent children and adults in our schools.

Sarna had witnessed a male in a group of at least 5 men randomly attack a vehicle that had stopped at a stop sign at the corner of Broad and Monterey. When the owner of the vehicle got out of his car to confront the male, he was tackled to the ground and the group of men began physically assaulting him. Sarna rushed over to attempt to stop the assailants and help the owner of the vehicle. That's when the men turned on him. He was immediately tackled to the ground and assaulted, being repeatedly kicked and punched by 2-3 of the men while the others in the group continued to assault the owner of the vehicle. Sarna feared for his life. Now he stands charged with attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon after defending a stranger and then being forced to defend himself.
