What the petition asks
Given the current state of affairs in this country, people should be able to defend themselves and their families from terrorist and other criminal entities
Enough is enough the terrorist has weapons why should people in this country live in the fear of being murdered in our own towns. If we are to be expected to live alongside people that want to kill us we should have the right to defend ourselves. Obviously, some kind of background checking system must be put in place if this is to work
