Glenn,
No panic is intended.
I don't think it's wise to pretend over 100,000 people are something to ignore though either.
None of the mainstream media is mentioning Death Star petitions.
ABC and CNN have been mentioning the gun control petition(s) though.
The signature count has also reached 116, 693 (my bad for the count in the opening post - it should have read 114, 458)
That's a little over 1,000 signatures an hour.

I've stated before that these petitions are useless. The whole setup is in place to give people a venue to vent and feel their voice is being heard. I can't recall a single major policy decision in this administration having stemmed from one of these petitions

Always a first time for everything....
I'll reserve judgement on it until after the White House responds.
The rules there say a response is made after 25,000 signatures.
It'll be interesting to see how a response is crafted.
