I’m about to reveal the depth of the disgusting culture extremist Republican politicians and so-called “influencers” have created around assault rifles and guns of all kinds. But if you can’t stick around to read the whole thing, can you pitch in $15 before you click away? All contributions go to supporting gun safety champions who will work for our lives, not peddle propaganda. >>
I'm disgusted.
I'm disgusted that well-known Republican figures like Don Jr. and Elon Musk use their MASSIVE platforms to prop up these weapons of war while spreading misinformation about them.

I'm disgusted that far-right, so-called "influencers" posed outside of Columbine High School with assault rifles for a livestream.

I’m disgusted that extremist Republican Representatives like Lauren Boebert and Thomas Massie posed their children with assault rifles for Christmas cards.

And I’m disgusted that all these extremists use their platforms to prop up the gun industry and pad gun manufacturers’ pockets with blood money while our communities suffer.
Because here’s the deal: Our country has faced over 600 mass shootings this year – and military-grade assault rifles on our streets only make them more deadly.
That’s why BAWN and I are working tooth and nail to elect leaders who are willing to work for our lives, pass an assault weapons ban, and put an end to this horrific bloodshed. We’re counting on 2,000 grassroots donors to stand with us against extreme Republican gun culture before our End of Month Deadline in 11 hours to show the world we have what it takes to defeat gun lobby-backed Republicans. If we fall short, these extremists will take it as a sign that their disgusting posing, posturing, and propaganda are working. Not on our watch. Can we count on you to join us by chipping in $15 – or whatever you can spare – before our End of Month Deadline in 11 hours to fully fund our campaign to replace extremist lawmakers with candidates who will have our backs and pass an assault weapons ban? >>
Thanks for joining us,
