John,

America is reeling in response to the mass shootings in Dayton and El Paso, which staggered those strong communities but strengthened their resolve to fight back. Compounding the horror of the tragedy in El Paso is powerful evidence that the crime there was a hate crime and terrorism directed against Latino Americans and immigrants -- inspired by the same slimy, toxic rhetoric that is oozing out of Washington D.C.

We must act. Law enforcement cannot solve this problem with the laws we have on the books today. I know -- as Colorado’s U.S. Attorney, I stood with law enforcement as we worked, time and again, to respond to terrible mass shootings here in Colorado. We need stronger, better and more effective laws that actually work to prevent mass shootings and curb the threat of gun violence -- including universal background checks, limits on magazines and an effective way to keep military weapons off the streets.

Why haven’t these common-sense measures been passed to keep us safe? Because time and time again, Republican Senators like Cory Gardner have blocked them.

There are steps we can take right now to protect our communities -- such as passing the Obama package of gun violence safety measures that I testified for back in 2013. And we need to implement the same strong measures to combat domestic terrorism that we used to combat foreign attacks on our soil during the Obama administration.

We just need the political will to do it. We can't wait around and hope it will get better.

Take action now: Call Cory Gardner and tell him you demand common-sense measures to address our nation’s gun violence epidemic. Maybe he won’t listen, but we have to keep pressing the issue until he finally acts or is voted out of office!

CALL CORY GARDNER AND TELL HIM TO ACT ON GUN SAFETY

Thanks,
John Walsh
