John,
Here are 3 steps that we can, and must take to reduce the human toll of gun violence:
- Raise the legal age to buy a firearm to 21: Since 2018, 6 out of the 9 deadliest mass shootings were committed by killers under the age of 21. Compared to those 21 and older, people aged 18-20 commit firearm homicides at 3 times the rate.
- Promote safe storage: 3 out of 4 school shooters obtained their weapon from either home or a close relative, and 3 out of 4 youth suicides involved an unsecured weapon.
- Reinstate the assault weapons ban: During the assault weapons ban from 1994-2004, mass shooting decreased, and then had an immediate increase after expiration.
John, this kind of real change is possible when we have leaders in office with frontline experience who are bold enough to take courageous action. These are just a few of the life-saving policies I will champion if elected to Congress, but I need your help to get me there. Can you chip in $10 right away so I can be a vital voice towards this life-saving change nationwide?

Through my career as a trauma surgeon, I’ve treated too many victims of gun violence – too many instances of preventable death and suffering due to firearms. It’s what inspired me to run for Congress, to advocate for immediate action to end this gun violence epidemic.
These steps have broad support from the majority of Americans that are ready to pass meaningful, life-saving gun safety legislation at a national level. I am ready to do the work in Congress to pass this legislation and represent you, but I can’t do it alone.
John, can I count on you to stand with me and contribute $10 or anything you can today?
Thank you,
Dr. Brian Williams
