ATTN: Please take a min of your time and check out/sign this petition stopping the legislation to ban what the government calls "assault weapons."

Click here https://petitions.wh...pacity/bjlkvNSf to sign up (only takes a min), and sign this petition.

This is what it says:

we petition the obama administration to:

 

Stop any legislation that will ban "assualt weapons", semi-automatic rifles or handguns and high capacity magazines.

 

We must petition Obama to uphold our second amendment rights, all of them. Including our right to bear arms that will reasonably defend us from ALL ENEMIES foriegn or domestic. We must also educate the public as the media and goverment have demonized the words "assualt weapon". In fact there has not been any type of "assualt weapon" used in any of the recent shootings. An assualt weapon is a weapon with selective fire. If we move forward on the assualt weapon ban we move towards the total disarming of Americans. Where will the line be drawn? These so called assualt weapons have few differences from our hunting rifles with the only difference being the stock and furniture. It was proven once before that a ban on "assualt weapons" is useless. Columbine happen in the middle of the Clinton ban.

 

Thank you.

I doubt I will do any more of these, it's a free data collection oppo for Obama, and the petitions are getting ridiculous. I think the WH will probably decline to comment on the Piers Morgan one, and anything else it doesn't like

already signed. While you guys are at it, sign the petition to "Deport british citizen Piers Morgan for attacking the 2nd amendment." It has 80K signatures. Its a shame that "our" petition only has 29K though. There are mulitple petitions on there asking to protect the 2nd amendment, sign all of them.

Is he a citizen?

Is he a citizen?

 

No. But not relevant.

[reloaderguy 30]

Sorry but I don't give the White House my email for anything!

[NicePants 58]

It got a response. Check it out. They copy-pasted the "gun violence" response the other petitions got. Absolute horseshit.

Actually, he is NOT an American Citizen so NO he has no bill of rights. Thanks though. We have enough crazy people that are citizens to argue with. I don't want to listen to him attack my constitution.

 

This should be filed under 'tough shit'

 

The bill of rights enumerates rights not granted by the government but rather affirms those right which are endowed upon us by our creator. Our creator doesn't care where we geographically are from in order for our rights to be inalienable.

 

So as unpleasant a gadfly as piers Morgan is, his freedom of speech is protected. So is CNNs freedom of the press.

 

We don't get to wrap ourselves in the constitution and then pick and choose who it's protections apply to.

 

IMHO, piers Morgan is a moron. But, what I think of him isn't relevant.

As much of an idiot Piers is, I have to agree with this. The bill of rights outlines natural HUMAN rights, not AMERICAN rights. While some may be catered more to American citizens than others, the most basic ones (ie: freedom of speech, religion, etc.) are rights that everyone has. That said, feel free to spam his twitter or FB page or any comments section about how wrong he is. Hell, get up on a soapbox and let everyone know that he is an idiot. You have as much right to denounce his stupidity as he does to denounce the bill of rights.
