The goal of this petition is to put a stop to the knee jerk reaction against the private ownership of guns in the wake of the Newtown CT tragedy..
The advent of gun control has resulted in an INCREASE of violent crime.
Almost every mass shooting since 1950 has taken place in a "gun-free zone", Taking guns away is not the answer. It just creates an easier target for those that want to harm our loved ones.
Many of our civil liberties were abrogated following the attacks on 9/11 in the name of protecting the public. We do not need to further erode the civil liberties of the citizens of this great country.
"Those Who Sacrifice Liberty For Security Deserve Neither." Benjamin Franklin
We've already lost our rights to privacy, let's not lose our ability to protect our other civil liberties
