Americans have the right to own police and military grade weapons and unlimited ammunition. The second amendment states that it is the"right of the people to keep and bear arms" but we must impose the question, what about the constitution's "unalienable rights"... which state that all citizens of our United States have the right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness? All of these things were taken away from from the children at Sandy Hook Elementary school, as well as Columbine, Virginia Tech, Red Lake High, Thurston as well as countless others. Nearly 100,000 people per year are victims of gun violence in the United States. 20,000 of those victims are our children. They cannot vote. But they are citizens. It is our job to protect them above all else. Those same "unalienable rights" are theirs too. Let the deaths of the 20 precious children at Sandy Hook not be in vein. If we truly feel compassion for their families let us do something. Now is the time. We can make a difference.

Only the U.S. government should sell guns, especially military weapons

these children killed....this madman who killed them. and his mother owed the guns. when will we banish guns from this country? why is congress so afraid of the NRA.? what can they do: shoot the president and members who pass gun control? we are a shameful, criminal country.

This petition is intended to have President Obama proclaim the first national week of awareness for the prevention of gun violence in the United States of America. We the petitioners are profoundly affected by the devastating loss of innocent lives due to gun violence in the US and request the President of the United States take both executive and symbolic measures to reduce and eliminate gun violence in this great nation.

As a longtime educator, the growing deaths from handguns must be dealt with, and now is the time.

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.
