Friends -

This weekend in Texas, eight more lives were lost from senseless violence and seven others injured in a shooting with an assault weapon. Our country has now witnessed more than 200 mass shootings in 2023.

We have to do more than offer sympathy. None of this happens by accident.

Add your name to join my call for Congress to ban assault weapons. It’s past time to act. These are instruments of war and tools of mass killers.

No other country in the world gift wraps powerful lethal firearms to every angry, unstable person with a grudge or paranoia. It’s just incomprehensible that we don’t realize this carnage is a choice.

We can make a different choice.

You don’t need an AR-15 to hunt or protect your family. You need an AR-15 if you want to kill as many people as possible in as short an amount of time as possible.

It’s the mass shooter’s best friend. They would be the people most affected by its ban.

Will you please sign my petition today calling on Congress to pass legislation banning assault weapons? Most Americans agree, but we need to keep the pressure on my colleagues so they cannot continue refusing to act.

If your Congressman or Senator tells you that we are helpless in the face of this carnage and our gun laws are just fine as is, then decide to do one small thing, each week, to help elect his or her opponent.

Democracy is designed to fix a problem like this.

Every best wish,

Chris Murphy
