Considering unchecked gun ownership in the U.S. has reached an Everest level we need some slippery slope to get back to sanity. Las Vegas is just the latest example of our allowing an out of control gun culture in our country. Here is my personal stance on civilian owned firearms and their ammunition. If it's not appropriate for hunting food it's not appropriate to own. Period. What is legal in each state for hunting should dictate the criteria for firearms and their ammunition as being legal for civilian ownership only. It's simplistic enough that anyone can understand it. It speaks to the tradition of the 2nd amendment for self preservation. And using that simple template they could go down the list of available firearms and ammunition saying Yes or No to each one. The Dept. of game and fishing in each state could give the criteria. They limit what can and can't be used in hunting. The GOP, and limply the NRA, is coming forward with banning Bump Stocks. Yay. Yiippie. When we get specific we only open the door for innovation. Someone right now is drawing up plans for a device that will do the exact same thing but won't fall under the definition of a Bump Stock. This is their way of appeasing since the conversation of #GunControl has entered the world of Country Music. The NRA is only 5 million members strong. So why do they carry so much power? Because they can mobilize those 5 million members in an instant to express their one and only message. NO! And they think about guns 24/7. On the other side is a variety of nuanced arguments powered by an apathetic grouping of people. The vast majority of which do not own even one firearm. People who only think about the devastating affect of firearms in our society when a tragedy happens. If you want to play with military grade weapons then join the military. Otherwise the ATF should be rounding these things up. More people have died due to civilian gun use since 1965 in the U.S. than in all our wars combined. 3% of Americans own 50% of the firearms. What civilian needs an arsenal? And for what reason? #GunControlNow A stance as simple as "NO!" is one that is difficult to fight. Gun Control has a much greater level of support than a lack of Gun Control. I believe how we gain ground on the other side of that argument of "No!" is to become less nuanced. Less varied. And less apathetic. #GunControlNow Tell Congress to craft a bill of legalization for civilian ownership of firearms based on the principle of 'What is legal in each state for hunting will dictate the criteria for firearms and their ammunition as being legal for civilian ownership only.'

Everyone may be affected if Trump's threats and ill-informed aggressive rhetoric doesn't end. It needs to stop NOW!

It's time to move away from fossil fuels and toward an economy powered entirely by clean energy - for jobs, for our health, and for our future. The climate crisis grows starker every day as fossil-fueled hurricanes, droughts, and wildfires devastate our country. These bold bills will transition the United States to a better world.

We need to start using accurate language to describe automatic and semi-automatic weapons. They are used for war and for killing. They are not used to assault they are used to kill. When people are assaulted, they usually live. When automatic guns are used, people are killed. These are Killing Rifles.

The NRA has bought too many of our Congressional representatives, thwarting the broad public support for common-sense gun control.

The time IS NOW to fight back against the NRA-an organization that has been callous in its disregard for the rights of Americans to be protected against the terror of gun violence.

everyone is effected by the gun slinging culture promoted by the NRA.

The NRA is anything but a normal organization supporting sportsmen. They represent gun manufacturers and will do anything to sell more guns. Time & time again we are witness to carnage in our country because the NRA will not support reasonable laws to promote gun safety. VISA should not be a part of this.

I'm a New York City correction officer who was injured on the job so i know first hand what it like. Cut back on these foolish law suit settlement from dam inmates.

Donald J. Trump is unfit to hold this exalted office of our country. He has proven repeatedly he is incompetent and ignorant of our U.S. Constitution. He does not understand leadership for our people or for others across the entire globe. He is corrupt, greedy, and insensitive to the needs of our people. He is self absorbed beyond measure. And, the electoral college made a serious mistake allowing him to become president.

DACA excluded millions of immigrants who contribute to our economy, add value to our communities and are as American as Apple Pie. Leaving millions of our friends and family members to live in fear is cruel and only hurts us morally and economically. Fear of deportation and all the terrifying human rights abuse that comes along with our current system, is wrong. Immigration should not be based on a litmus test or reserved for only academics. Help me fight Human rights abuse, oppression, human trafficking and FOR- PROFIT detention centers. Sign this petition to demand common sense immigration laws. America is a nation of immigrants, that's our strength. That's what makes us different. Criminalizing people for wanting a free and happy life is not what this country stands for. Please sign and share this petition to demand our Federal Government protect all undocumented immigrants living here as of today. Those who work and sweat for this country should not be oppressed. We will not settle for another version of DACA that divides immigrants by class, education or any other arbitrary reason. Save The American Dream!

It is about the legal right of US citizens to get reunited with their families.
