In about 4 minutes, the shooter who murdered my son Daniel shot 154 bullets, killing 20 children and six educators. That's why I'm gathering 100,000 petition signatures demanding Congress prohibit the sale of assault weapons. Will you add your name?

No internet petition has ever initiated any substantive change or legislation.

If you are passionate about this, or any other issue, contact your representatives directly, via phone or snail mail. Email and internet petitions are generally ignored.
