On Feb. 4, a gunman opened fire on students and teachers in a school in Orebro, Sweden, killing 10 people.

On Feb. 7 – merely three days after the country’s deadliest mass shooting – the Swedish government announced it would tighten gun laws and limit access to semi-automatic weapons like AR-15's.

Despite continuous mass murder in the United States, our lawmakers have failed to take action and ban weapons of war. Will you show lawmakers that Americans are done waiting for life-saving action:

Should the United States ban military-style assault weapons?

Friend,

The kind of swift action the Swedish government is taking against gun violence is unheard of in the United States – yet, many other countries have recognized the vital need to stop further bloodshed in the face of tragedy:

After a gunman with a semi-automatic rifle killed 51 people in two mosques,

New Zealand banned assault weapons.

After a gunman with assault rifles killed 77 people at a youth summer camp,

Norway banned assault weapons.

After a gunman with a semi-automatic rifle killed 35 people in Tasmania,

Australia banned assault weapons.

After a gunman with a semi-automatic rifle killed 22 people in Nova Scotia,

Canada banned assault weapons.

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 life-saving action from our lawmakers. We're looking for 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:

URGENT RESPONSE NEEDED:

Should the United States ban military-style assault weapons?
