Defang The NRA

We the signers of this petition request all elected federal and state officials publically declare that they will execute the requirements of their office completely independent of any directives or influence from any gun lobby group including the National Rifle Association. We further request that as elected officials under no conditions will you allow your judgement and decisions to be coerced by any form of political extortion in the form of threatened sponsorship of re-election challengers.

Why is this important?

The National Rifle Association is the most powerful political group in America. In actuality the NRA is functioning as the fourth estate of America's government; and it thereby has demonstrated that it has the political power to shape any legislation or regulation that it chooses completely independent of the wishes of the majority of American voters.
