OUR HEARTS ARE BROKEN BY THE TRAGIC EVENTS WHICH OCCURRED IN NEWTOWN, CONNECTICUT.
Such events have re-ignited the conversation regarding the enhancement and enforcement of Gun Safety and Gun Control laws here in the United States.
This petition is meant to help give both our President and our Congress the courage to know that we as a nation respectfully request that they act on legislation to expand background checks, make ALL gun purchases by non-licensed dealers illegal, enforce weapon registration and require mandatory gun safety classes.
If you would choose to stand up for our nation and demand action for Gun Safety now, rather than later, please join us by adding your signature to this petition.
I have been staring at my screen for hours because the stories people are posting under this petition are just gutting but also so vital to read. It feels like the silence from the people actually tasked with drafting these laws is getting louder by the day, and honestly it makes me want to start writing letters physically instead of just hoping for a digital response.
December 18, 2012
I honestly did not think this would gain this much steam but here we are and it is terrifying and exhilarating all at once. People are finally talking about this stuff again and that makes me feel like maybe we are actually getting somewhere even though the news cycle moves so fast and I find myself checking my phone every five minutes to see what else has been said.

I support this petition. Require a background check on all gun sales AND require a background check whenever a gun is sold by an unlicensed individual. All gun dealers should be required to get state licenses. Finally, prohibit possession of guns in bars.

Mandatory safety classes should be standard. You need a license to drive a car so why not for this.
