Feel free to add any petitions you may want seen here.
Just to share information and also to have signed if anyone feels strongly about them.
I will add the first. This letter and petition was brought to my attention this morning.

Testifying yesterday before the Senate Homeland Security Committee, Mayor Michael Bloomberg described the Terror Gap as "a serious and dangerous breach of national security" and raised a critical question:


"When gun dealers run background checks, should FBI agents have the authority to block sales of guns and explosives to those on the terror watch lists?"
Under current federal law, the FBI can stop suspects on the terrorist watch list from boarding an airplane, but they cannot stop them from buying guns or explosives. Terror suspects have exploited this flaw in our nations gun laws more than one thousand times in the past six years.

Chair of the Homeland Security Committee, Senator Joseph Lieberman, summarized the situation this way:

"We are simply not doing all we can to stop terrorists from buying firearms."
Witness after witness, including NYPD Commissioner Kelly, and LAPD Assistant Chief of Police MacArthur, helped deliver a powerful message: It's time for Congress to close the Terror Gap.

Right now, we have a chance to push our elected officials to take action. But we need to spread the word and collect as many signatures as possible.

As Mayor Bloomberg said yesterday, "The security of our free state is being tested by terrorists."

Let's make sure we pass that test by closing the Terror Gap and keeping our communities safe.

Thanks for your support,
