** Hello Friend,
------------------------------------------------------------

This week, two students and two teachers were killed ([link removed]) in a shooting at Apalachee High School in Barrow County, Georgia. The incident was the first major school shooting of the new academic year, and while a quick response from local police limited further loss of life, the community is still reeling from the aftermath​.

As of September 2024, there have been more than 380 mass shootings ([link removed]) in the U.S. this year alone. This continues a disturbing trend of high rates of gun violence and reflects a persistent national crisis, with both public and private spaces frequently becoming scenes of tragedy.

If we did just one thing—ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines— deaths would be prevented. Just one thing can go a long way in saving our children and innocent lives.
