The MoveOn.commies are going for your guns. They’re using their extensive email listserv to get the word out. Several Portlanders have signed the various petitions. Listen to my discussion with Kari at 12:52 on Monday’s broadcast.

Dear MoveOn member,

It’s time to tell the National Rifle Association (NRA) and Congress: We’re beyond heartbroken. Let’s make today the last day that you block common sense gun regulations that protect all of our families.

That’s why I created a petition on******* to the National Rifle Association, Congress, and President Barack Obama, which says:

We are beyond heartbroken as we think of the kindergarteners and others that died in Connecticut. This was the 3rd day in one week with a mass shooting in our nation.

We are parents. Many NRA members are parents. And none of us want to live in a nation where children are gunned down. Today is the day for the NRA and for Congress to step up and start proposing laws that protect children and all people.

Click here to add your name to this petition, and then pass it along to your friends.

The petition statements? 
“We refuse to allow a vocal and extreme minority to dictate to the majority and to prevent the pssas of sensible and necessary gun regulations”

“The second amendment certainly never intended for these kinds of rights.”

“It’s time to tell the National Rifle Association (NRA) and Congress: We’re beyond heartbroken, Let’s make today the last day that you block common sense gun regulations that protect all of our families.”

“Please ban automatic and semi automatic weapons from being owned by citizens. It is unnecessary. Why would anyone in their right mind need to own one? They don’t. Unless, of course, they are not in their right mind.”
