John,

Our communities are in grave danger as the number of states allowing permitless carry of weapons continues to rise. With no permits, safety training, or background checks required, anyone can carry a loaded gun without scrutiny. This is an alarming trend that puts lives at risk.

Florida has now joined the ranks of states allowing permitless carry, making it the 26th state to embrace this dangerous practice. 

But let's not forget the devastating consequences: states that have implemented permitless carry laws have seen a significant increase in violence and death rates.

We need to take a stand. Will you join us and oppose permitless carry laws? Add your name with ours →

 

Research has revealed the grim reality: weakening public carry laws correlates with a 13-15% rise in violent crime rates and an 11% increase in homicides committed with handguns. This is not a protected right; it's an epidemic that threatens our safety.

If we require permits and training to operate a vehicle, shouldn't we demand the same for carrying a lethal weapon? This is common sense, and even many responsible gun owners agree.

Join us and sign the petition to send a clear message: we oppose permitless carry of weapons and demand responsible gun laws that prioritize public safety.

About BlueAmp Action:

We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. 

We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. 

And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t.

When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families.

Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we.

So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.

Thank you for your support for all we do! Please follow Cliff Schecter on Twitter @cliffschecter, or subscribe to The Takedown with Cliff Schecter on YouTube, to keep up to date with this battle for the heart and soul of our country.
