Enough already. Politicians, take note: from now on, if you want my vote, take a stand for gun control. Period.

Keep guns

In light of the recent tragedy at Sandy Hook, CT and the increased perception of public violence involving guns (in particular those crimes involving high power firearms capable of automatic or high rate burst discharge), it is time to reestablish a common sense approach to gun control, regulation and ownership. This petition calls for a re-examination of gun control policy and protocols but in no way is meant to inhibit legal, responsible owners from their rights. Protection of our future generations within reason and responsibly should be a top priority as a nation.

The signatures on this petition represent a collective demand for a bipartisan discussion resulting in a set of laws that regulates (as the 2nd Amendment requires) how a citizen obtains a gun

Over the past 20 years our states have been closing mental health facilities at an alarming rate. We are now seeing the results of these catastrophic decisions. We must keep people like James Holmes, Jared Loughner and Adam Lanza off the streets. Yes we need tight gun control, but make no mistake if these 3 individuals would have been in institutions or had proper evaluations, we wouldn't have dead children all over the country. Please help tell our representatives that we need the money they took from mental health system put back with much more to go with it.

Westboro Baptist Church is coming to CT to picket at the funerals of the children and adults who were murdered on Dec 14th at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT. This group hates all people. Gays, soldiers, etc... It celebrates murder and death in every way shape and form.

The media is not asking the proper questions! I want to DEMAND that an INDEPENDANT study be made of all of the shooters that have caused so much carnage in our world in the past ten years to ascertain what psych drugs these people were "on" when they were able to perform such horrendous acts towards such innocent victims.

The Second Amendment ties guns to national safety and defense. Own a gun? No problem! Join the National Guard, go through the training, background checks, psychological screenings and correct weapon handling procedures and help secure and defend your country domestically and abroad, if need be.

I am a mother of two young boys and here is my thought, after having given this a great deal of thought, IT IS UP TO US TO DO SOMETHING NOW. This country has changed, there was a time when the common good of our people was put first, when careful thought was given to what a child or teen was viewing or holding in their sweet, innocent hands. Now, the good of profit and greed are our guiding principles and have been for a long time- that's what has changed. No longer do people care about what a child might be playing with or seeing on television, much less that interviewing children who just went through the most horrific experience of their lives was going through- but hey, they needed their ratings, right? I grew up watching The Brady Bunch, Little House on the Prairie and The Waltons and Walter Cronkite. The news was informative and always had a good story to lift your heart. So, here are my promises and my pleas: The games, which we have almost none of anyway, they are gone and never to return. I will not spend one penny on violence! Video and game companies- FIX THIS! The news, if you continue to sensationalize violence....I'm done watching, not that I watch much as you lost me a long time ago! CNN, NBC,CBS, FOX, ABC - STOP THIS, NOW! Corporate America- CARE! Gun owners - consider turning them in or simply locking them away until your life is in danger - why else would use them? NRA, gun control wary folks- WAKE UP and DO SOMETHING. Congress - GET A BACKBONE, CHANGE THIS - PLEASE. President Obama - WE NEED YOU TO LEAD THE WAY, PLEASE! IT IS UP TO US TO DO SOMETHING NOW!

The enormous amount of US citizens that are legal owners of firearms do follow all of the federal and state laws and guidelines for owning firearms. There are less than 1 % of all crimes that are committed by legal gun owners. Do not punish the innocent law fallowing citizens for what the law breaking and criminals do.

The right to bear arms has become UNBEARABLE PAIN!!! There is no reason for citizens to possess automatic weapons. They need to be restricted and we need to stand up loud and clear. This should be timed for the day before or after Inauguration, when Washington is full of visitors and the President gets a clear message from the people that we are DONE!

In July of 2012, a video was posted online that led to worldwide riots with protests, violence, and even deaths. More than 50 people have died in the violence resulting from the trailer to a film. The protests echoed violence from cartoons several years earlier where violence once again resulted in deaths.
