In all of these countries, there has not been a comparable tragedy since legislators acted in the interest of their citizens. Meanwhile, our country remains trapped in a deadly cycle:
After 18 people were killed in Lewiston, ME, in 2023,
Congress failed to ban assault weapons.
After 22 people were killed in Uvalde, TX, in 2022,
Congress failed to ban assault weapons.
After 10 people were killed in Buffalo, NY, in 2022,
Congress failed to ban assault weapons.
After 17 people were killed in Parkland, FL, in 2018,
Congress failed to ban assault weapons.
After 61 people were killed in Las Vegas, NV, in 2017,
Congress failed to ban assault weapons.
We want our country to be free of mass tragedy, too. It's time for our country to act in the interest of our citizens' safety. It's time for our lawmakers to stand up to the gun lobby and take action. Friend, we need to make it absolutely clear to our lawmakers: Take these deadly weapons off our streets.
That’s why we're asking you to speak up today and demand lifesaving action from our lawmakers. We're looking for 2,500 gun violence prevention champions to speak up in fierce support of an assault weapons ban today, before 11:59 p.m. tonight, and your response is missing, friend:
