Team,

Between 1994 and 2004, the U.S. had a federal ban on assault weapons. A recent study showed that while the law was in effect, there was a significant decrease in public mass shootings, gun deaths, and gun injuries.

Families should not live in fear of gun violence when we have the ability to take action. That's why I support reinstating a federal assault weapons ban.

Do you agree it’s time for a federal assault weapons ban? Take the poll >>

I've always rejected the notion that we are powerless against gun violence.

Keeping our children and communities safe must be our top priority, and I believe an assault weapons ban is a proven solution to the gun violence plaguing our nation. Do you agree? Take my poll today.

Thank you,

Chris
