Quoted:
Someone is reading petitions at the Whitehouse. The president responded to a Whitehouse online gun control legislation petition yesterday saying "We hear your voices". 200,000 signatures at the time of broadcast. Only pro gun thing mentioned was how the crazy NRA showed up to give "rambling incoherent speeches" and how desperate protesters "attempted to be heard".
I think a staff member from AR15.com should draw up a well worded petition. This is the largest site of its kind. Deep resources of knowledge and facts within the mods and staff.
That is what has to happen if we want to do the petition thing. Up to this point the only petitions in our favor are poorly written(mispelling, terrible grammar, terrible layout, terrible points made, etc) and they only serve to make us look retarded.
On the other hand these petitions mean dick. Obama isn't going to do another mini youtube press conference if we get a petition with enough signatures. Him and his minions have always wanted to fuck with our firearms and a WH petition won't change their minds. They will only acknowledge the petitions that favor their stance.
