Tragedies have occurred across America as the result of the ease of access to purchase guns and assault rifles. Innocent lives have been lost, families have been shattered, hearts have been broken throughout our country. Since the tragedy at Columbine rocked the nation, countless tragedies have followed with no action from lawmakers. Since the 1999 tragedy in Columbine, there have been countless mass murders due to the ease of access to guns, among other socioeconomic issues. http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2012/12/14/1337221/a-timeline-of-mass-shootings-in-the-us-since-columbine/?mobile=nc Please sign this petition. I hope we can stand together and inform our lawmakers that we demand a change in order to save lives. No parent should be afraid to send their child to school.

To President Obama, who has run his last election and has no excuse for not doing the right thing, and to every U.S. Senator and Congressperson who lacks the courage to stand up to the NRA: It's not just the mass murders the occur with disturbing frequency. It's the unending day-to-day shootings that blight every city. The time for tolerating your inaction is over.

Not, but many children died from gun shots.

As an activiist for Women's and Girl's rights in the state of Nevada, I find that Democrats and Republicans alike, even in rural areas want in insure that our country's leaders are not owned by the kingdom of corporate money leading to the attempted takeover of the sanctity of each vote counting in our democracy and the voice of the people over the money of the corporate rule, moves us all to continue to raise our energies and our voices to keep our Constitution OUR constitution.

The school shootings in Conneticut.

IF OFFICIALS WILL TAKE THE $200,000.00 AND PUT IT IN A FUND FOR KIDS THAT THEY THINK ARE GETTING CAVITIES FROM NOT HAVE FLUORIDE IN THE DRINKING WATER.THE PUBLIC SHOULD HAVE THE CHOSE NOT TO HAVE FLUORIDE (POISON) IN THEIR WATER.

Impose an annual tax on all firearms to be assessed through the income tax.

Many acts of violence may be prevented if medications were available and education provided to parents/teachers/clergy on mental illness.

It's about resurrecting our democracy from the obstructionists and getting our country back to the important issues that need firm, sane decisions.

in the wake of recent mass shootings in our public schools i am not asking for gun control because guns do not kill, the people who use them do, but for security measures to be heightened our Public schools on a state level(armed guards) or on federal level (homeland security efforts)

It is time we included "Equality" in the American values that we teach our children by reciting the pledge.
