The goal of this petition is to force the Obama Administration to produce legislation that limits access to knives and steel objects that can be fashioned into weapons. While a national dialogue is critical, laws are the only means in which we can reduce the number of people murdered in stabbing related deaths.
Powerful lobbying groups allow the ownership of knives and screwdriver type objects to reach beyond the Constitution's intended purpose to live free. Therefore, Congress must act on what is stated law, and face the reality that access to knives and screwdriver like objects goes beyond simple freedom.
The signatures on this petition represent a collective demand for a bipartisan discussion resulting in a set of laws that regulates how a citizen obtains a knife or screwdriver.
