Background checks alone are not sufficient when it comes to screening gun buyers. Many who perform mass shootings have no criminal record, or history of violent behavior.

The safety of innocent people in public places should trump the ever expanding and gravely misinterpreted "right to bear arms".

GDL restricts young drivers with extra laws when driving; these include a curfew, as well as only being able to have one other person in the car with them. The law also mandates that GDL drivers need red stickers on their license plates, doing this makes it visible to people who would want to hurt in some way these young drivers. This has also made me not able to fulfill tasks such as driving family members to the airport to see family.

Reporters should not have been allowed to interview those poor children in Newtown, CT. They were truly hounding them with questions. What we the people are suggesting is a way to protect children from over zealous reporters. No child should be allowed to have contact with a reporter with in 48 hours after such an event.

This petition is to protect its integrity, so as to not surrender our principles of right and wrong for personal gain.

I was ill and being able to avoid unprocessed chemicalized junk food, and eat fruit and vegetables, turned my health around. It is time that Americans choose health as our top priority and that we eliminate processed foods
