Last week’s mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, was a chilling reminder of the reality our country is facing.

Right now, our country is facing a gun violence epidemic, and we need to enact significant reforms to stop this epidemic and put an end to mass shootings.

I’ve proudly supported gun safety reform during my time in Congress, and I think it’s about time we take action to pass an assault weapons ban.

These weapons of war have no place in our streets, in grocery stores, in our schools, or in movie theaters.

Assault weapons have been used in almost all of the last several deadly mass shootings in this country, and luckily, we have a way to stop this.

Congress passed an assault weapons ban in 1994, and we can do it again. Will you sign onto my petition to stand with me and urge Congress to support an assault weapons ban?

Thank you,

Susan Wild
