Newtown, today we tell our leaders "No more!"

The horrific tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut deserves answers. Could there have been tougher, better laws to keep the guns out of the hands of a killer? Is there anything that could have protected these children and adults from a murderer's actions, actions that now leave a small town and a nation mourning? These questions DESERVE ANSWERS... and ACTION. Please sign this petition and tell your elected officials: NO MORE!

Why is this important?

"We've endured too many of these tragedies in the past few years. And each time I learn the news I react not as a president, but as anybody else would, as a parent. And that was especially true today." These words, spoken today by Pres. Barack Obama, express utter anguish in the face of an evil act: the murder of children and educators.

This is not war-torn Syria, Afghanistan, or the Congo, but the site of an unspeakable tragedy -- Newtown, Connecticut. A gunman armed with semiautomatic weapons stormed the Sandy Hook Elementary School. Reports are still streaming in, but in the aftermath: 20 children and 6 adults were murdered.

No one can fully answer why. But today we can change HOW. I am asking you, begging you, to please sign this petition and demand that your elected officials FIX OUR GUN LAWS. People who should not have access to guns buy them every day. Our background checks, systems of purchase, and laws have far too many loopholes and fail to protect our most innocent members of our society.

We must DEMAND COMMON SENSE GUN LAWS TODAY. Please sign the petition and let's NEVER AGAIN witness a day like today!
