Bob’s legislation banning the sale of assault weapons in Washington just passed the State Senate! This is a historic victory over the gun lobby that will save lives.

Bob introduced this legislation seven years ago after a young man used an AR-15 to kill three teenagers at a Mukilteo house party. Many said advocates would never overcome the gun lobby’s strong opposition — but Bob never gave up. He promised to introduce the bill every year until it passed.

That year is now.

This is a major milestone in our work to fight for responsible gun laws that protect our communities and our kids.

We deserve leaders who aren’t afraid to show leadership, even when it’s politically difficult. Will you add your name here to send a thank you note to Bob and the Washington State Legislature for passing this crucial legislation?

The devastation of mass shootings extends far beyond the casualties and injuries. Mass shootings traumatize entire communities. This legislation takes direct action to change that and protect Washington communities — it prohibits the sale, manufacture, and import of these weapons of war in Washington.

This work isn’t easy — Bob has been leading this fight for seven years, and this victory brings Washington to the forefront of the fight against the sale of assault weapons and the gun lobby.

Send a thank you to Bob and the Washington State Legislature now to celebrate the passage of the assault weapons ban!

In solidarity,

Team Ferguson
