The government won't ban that. No-one will go to jail for that. Ever. Neither will anyone go to jail for owning that image, rendering the message it carries pointless. Be realistic.

Incidentally, do
you agree that "violent" pornography should be legal? If so, how do
you gauge when something is too violent, even if it is consensual? Consider someone who is completely fucked up and consents to being killed on camera for a porno movie; do you think that should be legal to distribute? If not, what if someone consents to being seriously injured [like being amputated]? The main argument on that site is that the terms "extreme" and "violent" are subjective and ambiguous. Maybe legislation is a good thing then, to allow the elected government to draw the line somewhere and define what is and is not legal?
This petition seem to have been set up by people who need a fix of violent pornography and can't get an erection unless a sentient being has died and like to look at pictures of girls being stabbed in the vagina. I don't think you feel that way, but I think it's important to contend the arguments that Backlash present before deciding one way or another, especially if you're going to get people in your club to sign it without maybe knowing exactly what it is they're signing.
