These online Gov't petitions are getting a little ridiculous but the one calling for a ban on guns has got a lot of mileage in the press. Now, and enterprising individual has begun another and it reads as follows: (Unfortunately it seems to have been started by someone without spell checker)
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

If nothing else, it would be nice to reach the threshold so the president has to comment on it.
