This month marks four years since the mass shootings in Atlanta and Boulder — and two years since the mass shooting in a Nashville school. We’re honoring the victims by calling for an assault weapons ban, but we need to know where YOU stand by 11:59 p.m.:

Friend, how many more mass shootings need to happen before Congress finally acts?
This month, we remember the devastating mass shootings in Atlanta, Boulder, and Nashville — three separate tragedies over the past several years that are bound by a common thread: assault weapons, unchecked and legal.
Four years ago, a gunman in Atlanta, GA, targeted Asian Americans in a violent rampage, murdering eight people. Days later, another shooter in Boulder, CO, walked into a grocery store and gunned down 10 people with a semi-automatic assault weapon. And two years ago, in Nashville, a shooter with assault weapons stormed a school, murdering six people — including three 9-year-old children.
Inaction by lawmakers is not normal, friend:
Both Sweden and New Zealand experienced mass shootings, and it took less than one week to ban the assault weapons used to carry out the heinous attacks. Yet, in the United States, it has been years since these back-to-back tragedies, and Congress — bought and paid for by the gun lobby — has ignored every call for action.
Every year without action is another year where families grieve instead of celebrating birthdays, another year where survivors live with pain that never should have been inflicted.
We know how to stop this.
The assault weapons ban worked before. It works in other countries. And it’s long past time to reinstate it. We’re counting on 10,000 people to tell us where they stand on an assault weapons ban to show lawmakers they can’t turn away. Will you answer our poll before midnight?

We cannot accept another year without change.
