Jack, another day, another mass shooting. We can no longer tolerate more senseless loss of life. We must pressure Congress to take action.

It can often feel hopeless, with so many politicians controlled by the gun lobby, that even the most basic gun laws fail to pass. But this week in Texas, we got some hopeful news.
On May 8, shortly after the Allen mall shooting, a bill in the Texas state legislature to raise the minimum age to buy semi-automatic rifles passed out of committee—when two Republicans voted with all Democrats on the panel to advance the bill to the Texas House floor.
This was a rare victory in Texas, and a hopeful sign that the wave of mass shootings can finally push legislators to say "enough." There might be some federal action, too. In Washington DC, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has called a special meeting of Senate Democrats to move gun safety legislation.
Now is the time to redouble our efforts, and demand change. We need gun safety legislation.
