John,

The person who murdered my sweet little Daniel brought ten 30-round magazines with him to my son's first-grade classroom at Sandy Hook Elementary. He deliberately left the smaller magazines at home.

In approximately four minutes, he fired 154 bullets, killing 20 children and six educators. But as the shooter paused to reload, 11 children were able to escape. I often wonder if Daniel would still be alive if only smaller gun magazines had been available that day.

Now, more than seven years later, Congress has introduced legislation limiting the size of ammunition magazines to 10 rounds – the kind of legislation that might have saved Daniel from being murdered, and the kind of legislation we know would save more children from gun violence. But lawmakers have so far refused to pass it.

More children's lives are at risk every day that Congress doesn't take action. That's why we need to reach 50,000 petition signatures demanding Congress pass this bill immediately. But we're still short, and I noticed you haven't signed yet. So please, will you sign our petition now?

Please click here to sign our petition demanding Congress make high-capacity gun ammunition magazines illegal. Every signature gets us one step closer to passing this commonsense legislation and protecting more children from gun violence.

Congress' inaction on gun safety reform is completely unacceptable, and we can't afford to wait any longer. That's why I'm counting on your help to demand lawmakers finally take action to prevent other parents from losing a child to gun violence.

Thank you so much for taking action today and helping me honor Daniel's too-short life. With your help, we'll continue making meaningful change in this country.

Mark Barden (Daniel's father)
