US must move toward Banning Guns like Australia did. In US the only way things are done is by putting extreme pressure on politicians. NRA does it against the wish of majority of the people. We must create a stringe lobby group that will understand the language of Washington DC and know how to make them hear our voices. We can waste our energy separately, or create a group to the specific goal of ultimately banning all guns in US.

That is a HIGH PRIORITY OF OUR AMERICAN PEOPLE'S CONCERNS because all of the children are really very very innocent that they killed in Newtown, Conn. Our US government should have lawmakers of Gun Control Restriction with Registration and Insurance! If without gun insurance, someone shoots each other that he/she will be death plenty without parole if possible. We don't want to hear our USA's futures to be screw up and spending costs!

Marissa Alexander, a 31-year-old mother of three with no prior criminal record, was tired of being beaten by her abusive husband. She fired a warning shot at him in August, 2010, in Florida, where "stand your ground" laws are in place. While more than 13,000 shootings and killings have been pardoned under this law, Florida's justice system denied Mrs. Alexander that right. She was instructed to plead "guilty" to aggravated assault and, as a result, she would be sentenced to three years in prison. Instead, she insisted that she did nothing wrong. When she went to trial, she was found guilty by a jury in only 12 minutes and was sentenced to 20 years in prison! This is an outrage. So many shootings—including those resulting in death—have been exonerated by the "stand your ground" law. Yet, Mrs. Alexander was denied that right, despite petitions, marches, and cries for fairness.

It has come to the attention of us as a nation that the recent act of gun crimes that have spurred in the recent five years have become more brutal and dangerous due to the simplicity it has been to acquire these respectable power of weaponry. With all the fear and panic of what people view to be the guns fault for the violence, they have left out the biggest factors in the majority of these travesties. Mental illness, lack of knowledge for the amount of damage a firearm can produce, and accessibility to legally owned guns for illegal activity.

Who I am: I served 5 years in the Navy during the Gulf War, grew up shooting hand-guns/rifles in the mid-west with my Southern Baptist family, put myself through college at age 29 and now a mom to a 5 and 7 year old in school.

Recent events have polarized feelings about gun control. We believe that the recent Supreme Court decision guaranteeing every citizens right to bear arms offers a solution to the proliferation of the weapons of war in our society. The strict interpretation so beloved by the gun lobby and upheld by the court should be applied just that way - in the context in which it was written. The framers intended that every citizen should have the right to bear the arms of the day, not those arms that might be be made available at a later date.

Given how many innocent people are massacred each year by assault weapons, the only legitimate use of which is to easily kill numerous people easily and efficiently, congress should not only ban the sale of these military weapons but they should also buy up as many as possible tat are already in circulation.

My husband who is a disabled, retired U.S. Marine was wrongfully accused of stealing from a Walmart in our hometown of Conroe. He was hit in the back of the head with a metal object and wrongfully arrested.

A strong solution to the growing concern of our children's safety would be to hire retired police officers and retired and honorably discharged veterans with a sound mind would be a great way to safeguard our schools.
