Friend, it's Liz from Brady. I wanted to make sure that you didn't miss Kris’ message from yesterday, because reinstating the assault weapons ban could not be more important. 

Your voice matters, and we are still short of our response goal, so we've extended our survey deadline to give you one final chance to respond.

Should Congress ban assault weapons?

Today is the 30th anniversary of the passage of the original federal assault weapons ban. 

That should’ve been the solution that kept us safe from these weapons of war – but the NRA made sure that the ban expired after only 10 years and, since 2004, our nation has been plunged back into a state of fear. 

The failure of our lawmakers to stand up to the gun lobby and reinstate the assault weapons ban is beyond disappointing: It is appalling and it is unacceptable.

As a gun violence survivor, I don’t want anyone to experience what it’s like to lose a loved one to a heinous act of violence. But the gun lobby would rather profit off their weapons of war than allow any form of action that could stop the next tragedy – and thanks to their deadly influence, we’re all at risk.

The solutions to the gun violence epidemic are right in front of us. But if we want to defeat the gun lobby, we have to raise our voices as one. That's why it's so important that you join us in this action, friend. Please, will you respond before our extended deadline at midnight to tell Congress it's time to end the violence?

Should Congress ban assault weapons?

Thank you — I appreciate it.
