Any law that abridges our 2ed Amendment rights to keep and bare arms is, in and of itself unconstitutional. Therefore,the Lautenberg amendment should be repealed.
We should have the right to bear arms, it is a known fact that if lawful citizens have their guns taken away, the criminals still have weapons and now have many more victims
until the government's free of rat(s), nothing can stop criminals from spreading havoc. gun is our protection while our "defender" died in middle east.
Unless a gun was used in a case of domestic violence, it should have no bearing upon one's right to own or possess a gun, knife or baseball bat for that matter. How about cutting off a hand instead? A bit exteme but so is pulling someones "liberty teeth" and depriving one of his/her 2nd amendment right to defend themselves and/or their country- quicksilverdime
Even our ATF thinks this law is causing more problems then good. I haven't even gotten a parking ticket in 15 years and I'm still with my wife and very happy together. Just a shame I can't teach my children hunting or sport shooting because of this crazy law. Next they will start taking your driving rights for speeding and it will retro back also, then Americans would WAKE UP! The government needs to spend more time looking into what it passes and review the effects down the road. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE SOON! How much longer do we have to wait?
Eric R. Clark.I do not believe that it should be fair for a person that is in the military to have to adhere to this circumstance and however a person that is convicted of felony manslaughter can still get in with a waiver and be able to stay and retire in the military but a person with a class A or B misdemeanor of even Deferred Adjudication cannot stay in the military. IT MUST HAVE AN AMENDMENT TO KEEP OUR BOYS AND GIRLS IN UNIFORM, IN UNIFORM. I feel that it is a radical approach and it has cost the military over 3 million potential re-enlistees as well as enlistees that are willing to fight and die for their country and our beliefs.
It is now mandatory under this law that citizens who commit even the most minor of infractions are arrested. This truly is a farce and is really just an attempt at confiscation of guns. Does anyone want this place to be like England? They still have problems even after they confiscated all personal weapons but one shot gun and that is only in rural areas! Train and bus bombings anyone? Those bombings killed many more than a single gun could have...you can't fight a mentality or idea with a law like this.
I too want to protect our country against terroismand can not because of this cheesy ,hard tocomprehend law lets all get together and destroyit,before it helps in destroying america!
2nd amendment rights are a constitutional right; if the state tries you and they are given back, why does the federal government have the right to overstep this.
This law is so Repugnant to the Constitution rule of the law that all that favored it should be removed from office for violating their Oath of Office, and that is a crime of treason.
Have we fallen into some Alice in Wonderland story, where up is down and vice versa? The amendment is idiotic and based on an illogical argument. But it must have made the liberals feel good about themselves, and that's what's important! Repeal!!!
because it attempts to right an egregious wrong(the Lautenberg Act) which is nothing more than a transparent attempt to confiscate the legally owned firearms of law abiding citizens under the guise of doing the greatest good for the greatest number. Lautenberg is a farce and the founding fathers would literally be spinning in their graves could they see what current legislators have done to the greatest document ever created.

I support this petition because, the law states all a person must do is complain to the local lawenforcment and someone gets arrested (Guilty until proven innocent)?
One conviction in 93 and affected years later with my same soul mat and kids.... Haven't even had a PARKING TICKET since before 93.. my god, I'm second class people now! My they should take away my Pilots Certificate too since these are now considered "deadly weapons" Stupid Stupid and stupid LAW!!
This law is unconstitutional. I feel that all of those who voted to pass this ex-post facto into law should be brought up on charges of treason. Those that voted for this to pass violated many articles of the U.S Constitution especially the oath they took when they took office, that says they will uphold the Constitution of the U.S This law must be repealed immediately and Lautneberg himself should be brought up on charges as well as being tossed out of the office since he has failed to support and protect those he works for namely the public.
I was involved in a domestic violence incident that never involved guns. It was a misdemeanor. I stood up for my rights and I lost in court. I then lost my job as a policeman and prison guard. Fair? I want my second admendment rights back.
This Law has prohibited me from re-enlisting into our United States Military. I was Arrested in 1993 for a D.V.,My spouse did'nt even want to press charges because all i did was grab her by the shoulders. I have no other convictions or charges on my record since this incident,This law has ruined my chances to serve my country again.
