While you are wasting your time, energy and focus on this kind of stuff, legislation is being introduced...
This is symptomatic of the "Do Something" disease.... "OMG, we have to do something" .....to prevent (whatever the current crisis is) from happening again...do you think this silly online "petition" is going to get any, well, anything.....or does it make you feel better, because "dam, you're doing something!"
let's re-instate the Assualt Weapons Ban...that will fix it.
Lets bann the sale and delivery of ammunition by mail.....that will fix it.
We should be able to identify the loons and those about to be.....maybe if we get everybody on a gov't health care plan, and include a review of all your prescriptions before approval of use or in conjunction to the background check for a firearm purchase......that will fix it.....oh, wait...that one's in the works.
In WA., the word is that there will be an bill introduced to let the cities and towns make their own rules locally about guns overiding somehow the state pre-emption statute....that will fix it.

The Murderer couldn't buy the gun.... he stole it....and when he was done, he "fixed it" and avoided the expense of a trial....

....we should have trigger gaurds be mandatory....that will fix it....oh, wait, we already have that in some places
....we should have registration so we can at least identify who....what, owned it, bought it....before it was stolen and used in a crime.....that will fix it....oh, wait, we already have those in most places.
I'm thinking of sending the NRA a $1,000 and hope they have some chance to defend it....
Don't kid yourselves....O'boama wants this done in 30 days to coincide with the new congress....and it moves out of the news cycle with the fiscal cliff.....he has a moment of opportunity and he will exploit it regardless of these stupid petitions that will do nothing.
Rant off..... Flame on!
