Join the Sandy Hook Promise

[LightningCrash]

I've signed up for this. I want to make sure I'm vocal in support of measures that don't include bigger government or gun control.

You might want to hit 'sarcasm on'
your post lest anyone else believe a rational adult could fall for such a deliberately vague agenda that uses such terminology as "real change," and "solutions to make us safer," and "common sense" along with that old Marxist favorite "change."

No sarcasm. If enough sane people get involved and quarterback the discussions, they can attempt to steer the group away from proposals that would involve more government or gun control.

This thing is rising in popularity and it's important to make sure that gun owners are part of any dialogue.

All this will be is a bunch of anti gun people doing everything they can to disarm us. Because we all know how safe gun free zones are. What a joke. Why is the school that obamas girls go to good enough to have armed guards on the roof and throughout the campus yet our schools aren't good enough to have even one cop?? That really pisses me off. The pres and every other idiot in this country says that is not going to help keep our children safe. Then why is Obamas girls being protected? It just sickens me how things are ok for the president bit not us. We are beneath him and so are out kids. Just one more reason he thinks he is king of America.

Have you read the comments and posts on the FB page? This is clearly a front for organizing anti-gunners, and every 'like' of their page, or "promise" signed, only strengthens their voice

First, I don't FB. But the people running it have kept away from making it about guns. The Gun agendas are what people who don't run the group want it to be.

I don't want big-gubment anti-gunners to co-opt a generic group that has the President's ear.

What do you want?

from the article:
But perhaps foreshadowing the difficult and contentious debates to come in Washington, group members declined to offer support for any specific measures, saying they needed time to educate themselves on the issues, and emphasizing that the debate must be broader than gun control.
