DC Million Mom March Urges Action on Petition Opposing S. 1414

The Washington, DC Chapter of the Million Mom March has organized an online petition in opposition to S. 1414, a bill introduced in July by Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT). The "DC Personal Protection Act" would repeal the District's ban on handguns, end strict registration requirements for ammunition and other firearms, and lift prohibitions on the possession or carrying of weapons at homes and workplaces. It would also repeal the District's ban on semi-automatic firearms, allowing military-style assault weapons back into Washington's neighborhoods.
D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams, Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton(D-DC At-Large), Chief of Police Charles H. Ramsey, and many other District officials adamantly oppose the bill. Congresswoman Norton has commented: "The District is being targeted on guns...because we are helpless without senators and the full panoply of legal rights to protect ourselves ... The only thing that would cause more murder and mayhem in this city is allowing freer access to guns."
The petition is located on the Internet at: www.petitiononline.com
MMM D.C. urges everyone to take a minute of their time to visit this link, read the petition, and sign it. The only required fields are Name and City, State. Email addresses are kept confidential at the behest of signatories.
With George W. Bush in the White House, John Ashcroft in the Justice Department and Republican majorities in both chambers of Congress, the National Rifle Association and its allies are making a massive push to destroy sensible gun laws wherever they exist in this country. Please join us as we band together to say "NO" to S. 1414.
