Petition to limit gun ownership to a "well regulated militia", as stated in the 2nd Amendment.
The Second Amendment states: "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."

Why is this important?
"We’ve endured too many of these tragedies in the past few years...As a country, we have been through this too many times...And we’re going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics." President Obama’s remarks on the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. on 12/14/12.
