John–

Six years ago today at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, 17 students
and school staff were shot and killed, and 17 more were wounded.

And yesterday marks one year since the deadly mass shooting at Michigan
State University, where three students were shot and killed and five
others wounded.

And today in Atlanta, four students were shot and wounded after school in
the parking lot.

And just hours ago, another community was terrorized by gun violence: At
the Super Bowl Championship parade in Kansas City, where at least one
person was killed and many wounded.

Once again, everyday moments and celebrations have turned into tragedy.

And once again, entire communities are picking up the pieces from
preventable acts of gun violence.

Our kids can't go to school in peace. Our parades are soundtracked with
gunshots. What are our lawmakers doing?

To put it plainly: We're up against a lot. Gun companies continue to rake
in huge profits, all while our communities reel from the devastation
caused by their weapons.

We're not only holding the line against powerful gun manufacturers but
also gun lobby-backed groups who are fighting to dismantle the existing
laws that keep us safe. Right now in Florida, gun rights extremists are
working to roll back the life-saving policies passed in the wake of the
Parkland shooting.

Our children have a right not to be gunned down at school. We have a right
to celebrate without being shot. These tragedies certainly aren't the norm
in our peer nations—and they DON'T have to be our norm.

That's why we won't stop fighting for our right to a future free from gun
violence.
