Petitions

Please sign this petition at: http://wh.gov/RLsR


Good news! It looks like we will hit the 25,000 signatures needed on our Whitehouse.gov petition that will require President Obama or his staff to answer.

Bad news! It won't matter that much. The anti-gun petition is being fueled by the mainstream media and is up over 160,000 signatures. It is a record for the petition system since it began. The second place petition is also anti-gun and currently has over 30,000 signatures. You guys couldn't even beat the also ran.

Bad news #2! While over 60,000 of you clicked into the petition website page yesterday (yes, we count), only 20,000 of you signed the petition. We understand your need for privacy, but the government already knows who you are. They scan in all of your 4473 forms! ARE YOU GOING TO STAND OR ARE YOU GOING TO TRY TO HIDE?

Over 1350 websites linked to our petition today, but it just isn't good enough. We need the major firearm manufacturers to post the link in their Facebooks, and that means you need to go post it on all of their Facebook pages. Many of them have fans in excess of a quarter million. WILL YOU ALL BE SILENT WHILE NANCY AND HARRY SALIVATE OVER OUR GUN RIGHTS?





NEWS FLASH: The NRA shut down their 1.7 million strong Facebook page today. This petition is the only pro-gun petition in the running. The Whitehouse petition site may not be the perfect place to plead the case of the law abiding American gun owner, but it is all we have.

GunsAmerica is only one website. We email over 700,000 subscribers, but it isn't enough against a media barrage from every major network and online outlet, reaching into the tens of millions. If you have a website with readers, a blog, anything, please link it directly to the petition page on the Whitehouse website. Do not link to the GunsAmerica Blog page. The full letter is not what matters now. It is purely that number that matters, and if we can get it up to 50,000 today Drudge will probably pick it up. It is our only hope to have a voice in this discussion.

It is up to us to do the heavy lifting through these first few days. Please sign the peition, and help out if you can.

Well, if you can't stop gun legislation, try the next best thing, try to be a part of it, to help make any new laws sensible and balanced based on facts and not feelings.

Petitions my arse!

It won't matter what you petition the WH to do. It doesn't matter how many signatures >they say< are on any petition. They are ONLY going to act on what THEY want to act on. Your petitions have no force what-so-ever. Petitions are a complete waste of your time. The WH can only sign into law what the Congress sends them to sign.


If you REALLY want your voice to be heard, then do these 2 things.....

1) Join the NRA tonight. The NRA, no matter how you "feel" about them, does more to stop bad legislation than anyone else in the country. They have the contacts. They have the lawyers. They have the fleet of lobbyist already in place. But it takes money to make this happen. It was NRA lawyers that overturned the Illinois gun ban. It was NRA layers who overturned the Washington DC gun ban. It was NRA layers who got these cases to the US Supreme Court.

2) Contact your Congress man/woman and tell them exactly how you feel about YOUR gun rights. Contrary to popular belief, the media does not run this country. Citizens who voice their opinion with their elected officials get real results. The one thing elected officials still fear is being thrown out of office!


Now get busy !

But since the WH controls the web servers that >supposedly< count the petitioners, don't you think that if 200 million US citizens actually signed a petition to support gun ownership... that the WH would claim to have 400 million US citizens on another petition in opposition?

I mean really. You can't trust the WH staff any further than you can throw them. Even using a trebuchet.

These "bills", "petitions", and "polls" were all written years ago just waiting on this very sad event to happen. And that may be the saddest comment of all...  that the anti-gun people are willing to use someone else's personal tragedy to make short term political gains.

These people will stop at nothing.

Yes the anti gun folks are using this as a emotional weapon to go after guns.

Now it is time to settle in and watch us get sold down the river by our elected officials.
