Please sign it.
I KNOW it may not have any effect, but we need to show them we're awake and watching!

Done. Can this be posted as a sticky in the other topic areas to reach more people?

Done and passed on to other sites / forums.

I posted this on 4 other sites. Besides signing it, I urge members here to do the same. Some sights may not be gun related - like the forum I mod that's into diesel trucks, but they do have a section for firearms or sports. This needs a lot of signatures!

Done. And also started a thread about this petition on another forum.

I am disappointed about the small number of signatures on the petition so far. I hope some publicity will change that. But I am afraid that even within the shooting community this issue may not be well understood.

Glad I wandered in here. All signed.

It needs promotion. Had I not looked in this forum it would probably go by without me noticing it.

This is not going well.
HELP spread the word to other gun forums!

We still have less than 10,000 signatures.
