President Obama
Stop the special treatment of gun manufacturers and gun retailers! Repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act! And pass legislation that requires all gun owners to have personal liability insurance for each gun they own.
Why is this important?
We are well aware of the damage gun violence has wrought in this country. We cannot go a day without a mass shooting. Yet our legislators refuse to act! Enough is enough. Nobody is going to take anyone's guns away, BUT we can't allow the exemptions from consequences to continue. The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, signed by Bush and praised by the NRA, needs to be repealed. So, too, do gun owners need to be held liable for the actions committed with their guns.
After Sandy Hook, Aurora, Virginia Tech, and too many other tragedies to list - irresponsible gun owners, retailers and manufacturers should be held liable for the harm their irresponsibility causes. Allow the innocent American people harmed to personally sue them for damages, and remove special treatment given to the gun industry protecting them from lawsuits. We wouldn't exempt any other industry that kills as many Americans; they don't deserve special treatment.
