Got this email today. And if this one doesn't suit you, there's several pages of them here. http://www.change.org/search?utf8=✓&q=trayvon
Is there a comment section on the petition request?
I can't get the entire link to load. Its probably my slow internet connection. I have a lot to comment on.
Edit, It finally came up.
Classic anti gun retoric always starts with "I own a gun".....
As a survivor of a home invasion, a knife attack, an armed robbery at gunpoint, three burglaries, and domestic violence, I have been able to defend myself without ever firing my gun at anyone. I am a petite, white-female, and a gun owner who has been around guns my entire life. I am sick and tired of gun owners blaming the government for their decision to own/carry a gun by claiming second amendment rights. It is our choice as Americans to own or carry a firearm, and with that choice comes great responsibility, considering that a firearm gives you the ability to kill a human being with the tug of one finger. The government doesn't force anyone to own a firearm. Not every sticky situation requires a bullet to neutralize a threat. Just because a person can come up with a few hundred dollars to buy a gun doesn't give that gun owner the right to play judge, jury, executioner and God with their gun. A responsible gun owner is humbled by their gun and would never allow their gun to embolden them to do anything they would not ordinarily do, as Zimmerman did in this case when disregarded his training as a neighborhood watch person by getting out of his vehicle and pursuing a teenager with his gun, and also failing to identify himself as neighborhood watch. He pursued a teenager that, according to Zimmerman's defense team, Zimmerman knew he had no physical ability to defend himself against without his firearm, although he out-weighed Trayvon by almost 50 lbs and supposedly was strong enough to pull 4 people out from under a vehicle that had flipped over shortly after his acquittal, and a teenager who was clearly afraid of him and his stalking behavior. Instead of calling the government on a teenager for allegedly walking slow in the rain, we would have all been better off if he would have called a psychiatrist about his paranoia problem. Further, gun owners with a CWP should be required by law to also carry a non-lethal weapon to use against an unarmed person in order to neutralize a threat. It is a shame that so many gun owners are so irresponsible when it should be common sense to also carry a non-lethal weapon along with their lethal weapon. It appears that many gun owners just want an excuse to kill somebody, and it makes me sick. Changing the Stand Your Ground laws across the country is a good start, but not nearly good enough. Especially not good enough for the children across this country....

I could not find any where to leave comments. I don't think they want people to leave any comments. I don't think they will like what people put down on it.
I got that email too, and in my unsubscribe note I told them how uneducated, biased, terribly researched, and frankly offensive that email was.
How about for a change "parents" such as Tracy and Sybrina should raise their kids not to be little thugs...
I actually signed up to Moveon.org a few years ago. I get their email requests and such, and also request all the "free" stickers for O at election time. Why not let them spend a few extra shekels on me, says I.
A-ha. I'm keeping an eye on you, Ted. The ADL is too, and may be threatening....er....contacting you shortly.
This is just the beginning, Obama & company found a better deal to use than Sandy Hook. Anyone else notice not a single word about Sandy Hook in quite a while, Zimmerman & attacking self defense laws was too good a bus to pass up.
