John, we have to ban assault weapons — no more excuses.
There have officially been more mass shootings in the US than there were in 2023. Yet our current legislators are focused on expanding their special interests and showing favor to those who propagate our current gun violence crisis. We cannot keep living this way.
It is our duty as legislators and activists to stop these killings. That starts with reinstating the assault weapons ban. John, the fight to end this endemic of gun violence will take all of us. Please add your name to our collective petition to urge all lawmakers to prioritize safety and reinstate the assault weapons ban.
As GOP lawmakers waste time debating completely unworkable bills aimed at disenfranchising and discriminating against immigrants, poor people, and trans children — our country is facing a real crisis. Gun violence in the United States and our lack of gun regulation is spreading to other countries. This is the real crisis at the border.
Not only is this crisis affecting our own neighborhoods, it’s also fueling violence globally. The United States is the number one source of semi-automatic weapons in El Salvador, approximately half a million guns are trafficked to Mexico each year, and 70% to 90% of guns recovered at crime scenes in Mexico are tracked back to the United States.
We have the immediate tools to fix this crisis, but the catch is: Republicans in Congress are hellbent on keeping our country in this gridlock of inaction.
The time for compromise is over, John. We must be bold and determined in our fight to ban all assault weapons once and for all if we want to solve this crisis. Please add your name to stand with me and our collective progressive movement and call on lawmakers to choose people over profits and ban assault weapons.
Together,
Pramila Jayapal
