It is time to follow in Australia's footsteps. They outlawed automatic and semi-automatic weapons. They offered a government buy back program. Since enacting the law, crime rates dropped dramatically. No law abiding citizen needs more than a revolver, pump, lever or bolt action for hunting or self defense. With less dangerous weapons in our home, there will be less dangerous weapons available for theft. I know this may not be the most popular petition ever put forth. But if this saves even 1 childs life, then it is worth it. Especially if this 1 child was your child. Please help lower America's crime rate by signing this petition.
