    Convicted felons to not be able to possess crossbows or muzzleloaders

    On May 13 a convicted felon who has had numerous convictions in the state of North Carolina shot and murdered our son in the head with a crossbow. We are asking the officials of North Carolina to change this law to not allow convicted felons to own cross bows or muzzleloaders. Both of these things can do serious damage because they are deadly weapons. A crossbow in the hands of a convicted felon is what has killed our son. He should’ve never been allowed to have one in his presence.

    Close the 'Rape Pornography' Loophole

    What is ‘rape pornography’?  In 2011, after being alerted to the existence of websites devoted to 'rape pornography' Rape Crisis South London conducted research into the freely available content on ‘rape porn’ websites. We found many of the videos’ themes to be endorsing and promoting various criminal acts including kidnapping, additional physical violence and child sexual abuse. These images are explicitly defining themselves as being rape, non-consensual or forced sex. Our research found video descriptions like 'young schoolgirls abducted and cruelly raped. Hear her screams.'; 'little schoolgirl raped by teacher' and 'little girls cruelly raped at home'; 'tiny girl sleep rape' and 'girl raped at gunpoint'. The websites hosting the content included words like brutal rape, real rape, savage rape, only rape, in their web address. There is no grey area here. The viewers of these sites are encouraged to believe these images are real, that they are watching ‘real rape’. The loophole in legislation means that alongside images of rape, simulations of incest and child sexual abuse are freely, legally accessible in England and Wales as long as all participants in the image can be identified through digital imaging as being 18 or over, regardless of young appearance or contextual factors.  What’s the loophole? Since 1959, it has been illegal to publish pornographic “portrayals of rape” in the UK, but pornographic rape material is legally available online as it is uploaded abroad and outside UK jurisdiction. The 2008 Extreme Pornography legislation aimed to simply close this loophole but when finalised, it did not extend to rape depictions. By adding the straightforward criteria of “rape or other non-consensual penetrative sexual activity” to the legislation (as done in Scotland), anyone in possession of such images would be committing an offence and the Internet Watch Foundation could act to restrict or block access to sites.  What do we want?  We are calling for urgent action on the legislation on Extreme Pornography in England and Wales. We have been working with Law Professors at Durham University who have drafted an amendment to the law. We want your support in closing this loophole through raising awareness of its existence and showing public outrage that such material is inexcusably beyond the law on extreme pornography. Help us tell Westminister we want this loophole closed immediately.

    Save the women and children kidnapped in Sweida district in Syria at the end of July 2018

    Days ago more than 36 women and female children from the eastern villages of SWEIDA district in Syria were kidnapped by ISIS. No one in the world is even talking about them. Nobody cares. And of course, we're never going to wait for others to come and help. They are intended to be used as human shields. Worse than that, they are going, right now under enormous physical and mental stress because they can/may be raped, tortured, killed and for any evil purposes one can imagine.  Their relatives have no abilities to reach for real help. They are helpless, have no real financial or other means to help them. We need international support for helping to release these innocent and vulnerable women and children. They are innocent victims of unwanted war. Please help them.

    Allow People with a Medical Marijuana Cards possess firearms

    According to the constitution under Code 18 U.S.C. Section § 922(g)(3), The mere possession of a valid Medical Marijuana Card and/or the use of medical marijuana, makes a citizen an “unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance. This is not correct, or constitutional. Under federal law, yes Marijuana is considered a controlled substance and a drug. BUT, many states now are considering it as a MEDICINE. Marijuana is merely an herb that can be grown in people's yards. The issue with all of this, is that the government still believes that Marijuana/Cannabis is considered a drug.The government does not want to accept the fact that it is a medicine. Many doctors are just supporting "pill pushers". They give patients pill after pill, to compensate for the side effects of each one prescribed. Many prescribed are drugs themselves. The literal definition of a drug is "a medicine or other substance which has a physiological effect when ingested or otherwise introduced into the body". Anyone having a firearm can be taking a prescribed drug but it is considered a "medicine". What is the difference between them? Nothing. Under Section "27 C.F.R. § 478.32.11." This explains that "a person possessing a Medical Marijuana Card, is prohibited by federal law from the purchase or acquisition, possession, or control of a firearm, any person who uses or is addicted to marijuana, regardless of whether his or her State has passed legislation permitting marijuana use for medicinal purposes, is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance, and is prohibited by federal law from possessing firearms or ammunition" This is Unconstitutional, because it is unknown if any person is "addicted or abuses" any sort of prescribed drug. They can be addicted to any other "drug", but it makes it okay, because the government still believes that Marijuana does not have any positive effects on people and believed to be a "controlled substance" like (cocaine, meth, etc...). The government needs to realize that, Marijuana is not a drug, it has many positive outcomes for patients with (Anxiety, PTSD, Tremors, etc..). Many people have negative side effects from drugs that are prescribed by doctors, but yet they try Marijuana and realize that, it is beneficial for them. Many pills prescribed are addictive, such as xanax, and instead of prescribing something addictive, or they patient refuses to further take the medication. They use Marijuana as an alternative, because it has positive outcomes and beneficial for them. Marijuana should not be considered a drug anymore. It has beneficial properties for many people suffering from a plethora of illnesses such as and not limited to from mental disorders and pain management. Having a medical Marijuana card (license) should not inhibit a citizen from obtaining and owning a firearm. This goes against the 2nd amendment. So, join me in helping the transition from Marijuana being a "drug" to now being a medicine that is beneficial to people and should not inhibit someone from obtaining an object that they are Constitutionally able to own.
