White House petitioned on gun control - POLITICO.com

White House petitioned on gun control - POLITICO.com: "In the hours after a 20-year-old wielding a semi-automatic assault rifle gunned down 20 children in Connecticut, a petition on the White House web site calling for stricter gun laws drew more than 100,000 signatures.

The petition was one of nearly a dozen created after the shootings Friday in Newtown, Conn.

"The goal of this petition is to force the Obama Administration to produce legislation that limits access to guns. While a national dialogue is critical, laws are the only means in which we can reduce the number of people murdered in gun related deaths," the creator, identified only as "David G.," wrote."
