Dec 2012

Arsenals of lethal weapons in private homes leads inevitably to periodic gun massacres. We've seen it again and again and again. And the gun lovers shrug and say these things happen, nothing we can do about it.....

NO MORE!

Freedom doesn't mean cowering in fear of my gun loving neighbors and their teen boys.

We need real, serious gun control now. FOR REAL.

The necessary first step is to repeal the second amendment. We don't need, and can't live with, the constitutional right to own a weapon of mass death. No more.

Repeal the Second Amendment Now.
