Friend,​



The Dayton, Ohio shooter was stopped in less than 30 seconds. In that half-minute of violence, he murdered 9 people and injured 27 others. In a separate terrorist attack in El Paso just hours earlier, a gunman was able to murder 22 people. These domestic terrorists were able to cause mass casualties because they were armed with assault rifles. It's the same weapon that's been used over and over again in mass shootings that have left hundreds of Americans dead. It's a weapon that at one point was banned in our country, but was put back in the hands of killers by the GOP's inaction.



It's time to ban assault weapons for good. These are weapons of war that have no place in our communities. We cannot continue to simply offer condolences on twitter and then wait around for the next tragedy to occur. We need to take action. It's time to tell Congress to pass an Assault Weapons Ban.

I'm proud to stand against the NRA in my role as your representative, but there are too many on the right who are happy to accept the gun lobby's money rather than stand up for the American people. It's time to make it clear that if the Republicans in Congress won't act, voters will replace them with leaders who will.



Will you add your name to our petition calling for a ban on assault weapons in the United States?



We can't wait any longer. It's time to stop the mass shootings that are becoming all too frequent. Add your name and help us make a difference!



Best,
Nydia
