New Hope: Common Sense Gun Control

This petition calls for a:
- Ban on assault rifles (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault_rifle).
- Better regulation on gun sales, purchases + ownership.
- More robust background checks (taking into account past criminal activity, mental illness, etc).

Why is this important?

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.
