The NRA made sure the original assault weapons ban would end and when it did, mass shootings increased by a staggering 183%. We need Congress to ban these weapons of war once again and save lives. Will you add your name to our urgent petition right now and urge action?
ADD YOUR NAME: Ban Assault Weapons >> [[link removed]]
John,
Halfway through the year, there have already been 410 mass shootings in the United States.
That puts our country on track for its deadliest year of gun violence in recent history. And yet, our lawmakers are not taking common sense measures that are proven to save lives.
While you can count the amount of mass shootings in a year or a decade, there are truly no numbers that can encompass the trauma inflicted on a community when a mass shooting occurs.
What the numbers do tell us, though, is that an assault weapons ban will decrease mass shootings and gun deaths: While the assault weapons ban was in effect, there was a 37% decrease in gun massacres. And when the ban ended – thanks to despicable NRA intervention – there was a staggering 183% increase in mass shootings and a 239% increase in fatalities.
But, John, ultimately this isn’t just about statistics – it’s about people’s lives. And we need Congress to act to save them.
If our lawmakers won't do their duty to save lives, it’s up to us to fight back. Congress is about to go on recess and we want them thinking about what they can do to save the American people and take immediate action when they return to work. Will you send an urgent message now, before the August recess, and make it clear to our lawmakers that we need an assault weapons ban now? [[link removed]]
