John,

When innocent lives are at risk, thoughts and prayers will never be enough in the fight against gun violence.

We know that common-sense gun safety legislation WORKS. New York has some of the strongest gun safety laws in the country – and it shows. Our state boasts one of the lowest rates of gun violence.

This is the kind of progress we can achieve nationwide if we take decisive action, but right now, too many extreme lawmakers seem content prioritizing the deep-pocketed gun lobby over the American people who they were elected to represent and protect.

Look, here’s the bottom line: We need universal background checks, closing dangerous loopholes, and we need to get weapons of war off of our streets. These aren't radical ideas — they're common-sense solutions that are proven to work and save lives. We owe it to the victims of senseless gun violence, and to their families, to take action.

Protecting kids from gun violence has been a priority for Nancy for years. As a community leader, she partnered with Moms Demand Action and Everytown to hold forums educating Long Island parents about gun safety. But Nancy knows we can’t just stop there. In Congress, she will enact common-sense gun safety reform. That’s why she is a Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate.

Our kids should not have to wait any longer. The time for Congress to act is now.

Join Nancy in demanding Congress bring common-sense assault weapons ban legislation to a vote. We can't afford to wait to protect our children, teachers, and communities from preventable gun violence.

Thank you

Team Goroff
