Protecting America from Gun Violence

Our goal is to request that local state and city offices work together to legislate city codes of public safety that emphasizes on the protection of residents' health, safety, and welfare on all private and public grounds where there is an excess of 300 people at any given time.

Why is this important?

Recap from 2012: Mass murder at a crowed movie theatre on July 20, innocent people at the Sikh temple on August 5, and now the butchering of children and teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary school on December 14— how can we stop this gun violence?

Deter or Stop the Shooter!

Each State would pass legislation that creates local city laws that is enforced by a City Zoning Officers which would require that a security guard(s ) must be present at all private and public lands and/or buildings as a condition of operation. Similar codes/laws have been passed for handicap access, and the same can be achieved to protect our families, friends, and fellow citizens in public spaces.

All Public grounds such as: schools, parks, religious buildings, recreation facilities; as well as businesses with a certificate of occupancy and/or conditional use permit which operates primarily for financial gain would have to comply with this public safety standard of providing a security guard (s) such as but not limited to: shopping, dining, amusement, and sporting establishments.

Both private and public entities that fall under this city ordinance will have a Security guard(s) on premises at all times during normal business or operating hours. Security guard(s) shall be charged with preventing violations of law and shall be uniformed in such a manner so as to be readily identifiable as security guards by the public and shall be duly licensed as security guards as required by the applicable provisions of State law. No security guard shall perform any other duties while acting as a security guard.
