Petition: Don't Let the Assault Weapons Ban Expire

Please take a moment to sign this petition to extend the national ban on assault weapons. Your signature will be forwarded to President Bush and Congress, urging them to renew the ban before it expires on Monday, Sep. 13.

The ban on assault weapons is not a partisan issue - the assault weapons ban was supported by Presidents Reagan, Ford, Carter, and Clinton, and by Republicans Tom Ridge and Rudy Giuliani. The ban is supported by 74 percent of American voters, by Republicans and Democrats on the committees that investigated 9/11, and by virtually every police officers' association including the Major Cities Chiefs Association, International Brotherhood of Police Officers , National Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), National Black Police Association, and Hispanic American Police Command Officers Association.
