Jack, sign and send the petition: Ban assault weapons.

SIGN AND SEND THE PETITION
Assault weapons, with their high capacity for rapid-fire and extensive damage, are a clear and present danger to public safety. Yet, the attempt on Trump has not swayed the GOP's stance on gun control, showing a grave disconnect between the reality of gun violence and political action.

The assassination attempt on Trump not only injured him but also killed one person and injured two others. The fact that assault weapons made it into the rally in the first place is deeply concerning and raises serious issues about gun safety at public events. It's alarming that Republicans still don't want to talk about protecting all Americans from this deadly epidemic after their own candidate's life was put in danger and another life was lost.

A ban could significantly reduce the frequency and severity of these tragic events, but Trump's supporters remain steadfast in their opposition to gun reforms. This unwavering stance demonstrates a broader issue: the normalization of assault weapons in American society. The continued accessibility of these weapons only serves to escalate the potential for violence, putting all citizens at risk, regardless of political affiliation.

Assault weapons have been repeatedly used in mass shootings, resulting in devastating loss of life and trauma. Such firearms are designed for maximum lethality, making them unsuitable for civilian use.

We must unite as a nation to call for a ban on assault weapons. This is not about politics; it is about protecting lives.
