It is currently illegal for children to buy pistols/sidearms in many states, yet they are allowed to purchase military grade assault rifles in a lot of states. Please sign to help push Congress towards a bill to prevent the purchase of any firearm by a minor in every state after the horrific event in Parkland, Florida.

I am starting this petition after the horrible school massacre in Parkland, Florida. I am sick and tired of constantly seeing mass shootings, especially in schools, and Congress not doing anything to try and prevent future atrocities. Some say it’s about mental illness and some say it is gun control. Congress MUST start with the immediate solution- keeping guns away from minors. This should be a no-brainer. It must be a law EVERYWHERE. I have a brother in high school and a sister in her last year of middle school. The last thing I want to worry about is if they are going to come home everyday or not. If America and President Trump truly care about the issue of children not being able to go to school completely safe, then they will ACT AND ACT NOW. Guns need to stay out of the hands of children in EVERY state!
