There would only be two reasons for people not to want this petition to go through:
1. Scared of weapons, and
2. uneducated to the rules and regulations of being a proper owner of a weapon.
It is a great responsibility to be a weapon owner. The people who disagree with this petition need to be afraid of those citzens that aquired there weapons illegally. They do not follow the rules, nor do they care about our rights to be safe.
I myself was afraid of handling weapons until I bought my first one. I took the required classes, now lawfully carry, and I am proud to carry.
