• Background checks for all guns sold
    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.

  • Police and Sheriffs Who Carry a Gun Can Work in the "Sun." It is Currently Unconstitutional to Ta...
    In Collier County and Tampa, I have been involved with police, sheriffs, and state troopers who acted Illegally because they knew that the only thing that could stop them, audio and video taping, could not be done-- unless you want a felony and jail term. We reject the wish of the state legislature as a violation of the constitution, and sheriffs, state troopers and the police will be taped and "outed" for crime.

  • Protect our 2nd Amendment rights!
    People are blaming guns for the Sandhook tragedy, yet the same tragedy has been enacted in China with knives. Guns are a reality, and we can't uninvent them. Even if you strip every honest American of his guns, the criminals will still have them. Look at Canada, Australia, and the UK. The people committing these crimes want attention, and use guns to get it, but if guns are not available, they will use knives, make bombs, or go back to sticks. Our Second Amendment rights are meant to allow us to protect ourselves, and all our other rights, from a tyrannical government, and from tragedies like Sandhook.

  • Don't blame guns for criminal acts
    With all these shootings going on, many people are turning to outlaw firearms simply because of their own misinformation. It is a national tragedy that occurred at CT and my heart goes out to all the families. People need to get real, banning guns to stop crime is like banning cars because of drunk drivers. I for one will not stand by while uninformed individuals blame firearms for the acts of deranged individuals. We need harsher laws when it comes to background checks and private weapons sales. WE NEED TO EDUCATE our population about firearms and firearm safety!.

  • Do not punish those who use guns responsibly.
    Once again gun control and banning guns will be thrust into the spot light as it does every time a tragedy like this occurs.

  • Back ground checks
    My petition is not to take away the 2nd amendment but to do a background check on everybody who own guns yearly. A lot of things can happen to a person in a year. A yearly background check can help keep guns outta the hands of the wrong people. And it would help if they have a mentally unstable family member in the house hold that could cause a screen like the shooting in the elementary school that just recently happened. Please sign my petition. Like I said its not to take away the 2nd amendment but to help control the gun control.

  • Mental Health Needs the Overhaul, NOT Gun Control
    In the wake of recent events, many people are calling out for tighter gun control. This does not solve the problem, because the problem is a failed mental health system that allows these disturbed individuals to roam free.Our leaders need to adress the cause, not the symptom.

  • Gun Control
    Another senseless tragedy occurred yesterday because people are allowed to buy semi-automatic weapons with multiple rounds. I'm not saying people shouldn't have shotguns and rifles for hunting, but the death toll in these tragedies wouldn't be so high if we stop the sell of these weapons capable of killing so many so fast.

    Acknowledging that all previous responses to school shootings have been miserable failures, we ask Congress and the President to take a new approach.

  • Pass More Secure Gun Laws!
    I want this to happen because guns are always going to be dangerous, so I want to keep them as safe as possible. I am doing this because On the Day ofFriday, December 14th, 2012, a crazed man for no reason whatsoever killed 20 Elementary students and a few teachers. Again, he did this for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON!

  • Bring prayer and God back to school
    The violence we are seeing on our streets and our schools has got to STOP. We need to teach the Biblical foundation of morality so people grow up to value human life.
