John,

Last Friday marked two years since a gunman walked into a high school in Parkland, Florida, with eight 30- and 40-round ammunition magazines. In under six minutes, he fired nearly 150 times – murdering 14 students and three educators.

The person who murdered my beautiful butterfly Dylan at Sandy Hook Elementary seven years ago brought ten 30-round magazines with him. In approximately four minutes, he shot 154 bullets, killing 20 children and six educators.

But in the time it took the shooter to reload at Sandy Hook, 11 children were able to escape. If magazines were limited to one-third the number of rounds available that day, Dylan might still be alive today. And more people might have been saved from the horrific mass shooting in Parkland, too.

That's why I need your help right now. One year ago, a bill was introduced in Congress to limit the size of ammunition magazines to 10 rounds – but Congress has refused to pass it. As we honor those murdered in Parkland two years ago, we need to collect 50,000 petition signatures demanding that Congress finally act before more lives are senselessly lost. Will you please sign our petition now?

Please click here to sign our petition demanding Congress immediately make high-capacity gun ammunition magazines illegal. This is commonsense legislation that will help protect children like my baby boy, and all of those murdered in Parkland, from gun violence.

Dylan continues to be a light in my life, and I will spend the rest of my days building a legacy for him that ensures his light continues to shine. By helping me in this work to protect children like him from gun violence, you're making that legacy possible.

Thank you so much – it truly means the world to me.

With love,

Nicole Hockley (Dylan's mom)
