We petition the obama administration to:

We ask President Obama to support law abiding gun owners in this time of tragedy.

We ask President Obama to stand with law abiding gun owners in this time of tragedy. Guns laws could not have prevented Adam Lanza from killing 27 innocents. The real question is what made this disturbed young man into a murderer of children. Where is the outrage at the violent video games he played? A piece of plastic and steel doesn't have a will Mr. President. Evil is not law abiding, and Adam Lanza stole those guns after failing to buy one legally. it is America's law abiding gun owners who would have died with Victoria Soto and Dawn Hochsprung defending the children with only our bodies on December 14th, because it was already illegal to bring a gun into that school. Please don't pander to the politics Mr. President. A feeding frenzy of new gun legislation is not the answer.

These petitions are meaningless. About as useful as having 25,000 likes on facebook. It's equivalent to spam.

Perhaps. The whitehouse does respond to those with 25,000 signatures. While I agree that it's not going to have a huge impact, I find it a quick and easy way to remind elected officials of my opinions. This is just 1 small way to be politically active... there are many others. Something is better than nothing. There a tons of folks out there right now actively working to take away your gun rights.

They don't always respond to those with 25,000 signatures. All of the secession petitions went unanswered. The petition for us to create a death star went unanswered. It's a waste of time and does nothing but give the government your contact information for them to sell to 3rd parties.

I did see the anti petition and the pro gun rights is a good counter balance. The antis seem pretty motivated right now. It gives politicians a skewed view when only the motivated ones are politically active. Any suggestions?

The current administration couldn't care less about our feelings on the matter. I do however like to vote in the MSM polls, just to wreck their numbers so they can't be thrown back at us later or be used to sway our politicians.
