We are Americans. Not red, not blue, but red, white and blue! Like Americans everywhere, our grief and sympathy for the children and adults brutally murdered at Sandy Hook Elementary, and for their families, is profound and lasting. This petition seeks to create a memorial at Sandy Hook School that will serve as a lasting reminder of a community's, and a nation's, grief over the loss of these precious Americans.

Ban the sales of semi-automatic weapons and handguns. Limit the amount of ammunition sold to anyone each month. Remember the Connecticut school massacre and protect us, the American people, from having to mourn victims of gun tragedy every week of every month of every year.

the petion is for everyone to carry a gun and go through a gun coarse. and shoot a gun .

in light of this weeks shooting in connecticut, it's time to make sure guns do not fall in the hands of the irresponsible, and not blame those of us who take having a gun seriously. its time to enforce stricter gun control laws. banning guns for everyone only leaves them in the hands of the bad guys.

Is about guns falling into the hands of people crazy enough to use them irresponsibly and dangerously. THIS AS TO STOPPED.

The Westboro Baptist Church is a hate group masquerading as a religious organization that forces their children to participate in virulent hate speech and brainwashes them into their culture of hatred. Fred Phelps, the pastor of the church, is accused of physical abuse by his own son—and the psychological trauma and abuse the current children of the church suffer is apparent. These children should be protected by the State of Kansas through an investigation into the safety of their home environments.

Guns are not being managed. The guns that killed so many children belonged legally to the gunman's mother. The gunman's mother was the first to die. We've got to get guns out of the house and into the hands of gun clubs who can be required to lock them up and only allow use at the gun club. People would therefore would not be denied the right to own a gun but they could not have them on their person or anywhere but at a licensed, inspected, and controlled gun club.

I am concerned where we are going as a country when anyone can take a gun into an elementary school, hospital, church, or shopping center and kill people. This happens every week in the U.S. Lets keep our country safe by regulating guns, banning assault weapons and handguns, and limiting ammunition sales.

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.

Enough said. OK to hunt, maybe defend your house. No more senseless killings in this land

Title Guns like cars and reinstate the ban on assault weapons

Restrictions to present gun laws. Yes, by the recent shooting of kids in Conn. and all of the other mass shootings in our country. Something has to be done to stop such horrific violence.
