First of all, the title is confusingly worded.

Quote:
The goal of this petition is to force the Obama Administration to produce legislation that keeps access to guns.
I don't understand that sentence very well. The legislation has access to guns? Furthermore, the use of the word "force" is far too strong.

Quote:
face the reality that access to firearms is what the Second Amendment intends to achieve.
The 2nd Amendment doesn't intend to achieve anything. It's a written guarantee that a right not be infringed.

This thing is too poorly written to be taken very seriously by its intended audience, and even if it wasn't, these petitions don't achieve anything. Sorry to sound so intemperate, but the underlying premise is flawed, and the effort would be far better spent contacting our representatives directly.
