John, our movement to end gun violence is stronger than ever.
Thousands of people across the country joined more than 200 events organized by Moms Demand Action and Students Demand Action this weekend to demand that Congress reinstate the bipartisan Assault Weapons Ban. We're making this an issue our politicians can't ignore.
We've banned assault weapons before, and it worked.
In 1994, Congress banned assault weapons with bipartisan support, which reduced the likelihood of mass shooting fatalities by 70 percent. But in 2004, the gun lobby intervened to stop Congress from renewing the ban.
Their inaction has helped make this crisis as utterly devastating as it has become. Banning assault weapons worked before. It can work again now.
John, we need to hear from you:
Take our short 4-question survey about banning assault weapons and what you think our elected leaders should do to prevent gun violence.
Thank you for being with us,
Everytown for Gun Safety
