Dear John,

States United has joined over 100 other organizations across the U.S. demanding the President and Congress ban assault weapons now. 

Today, you can sign our petition, too!

There is absolutely no reason for weapons of war—assault rifles, assault pistols, and assault shotguns—to be sold to civilians. Too many Americans are being senselessly gunned down in public spaces in towns and cities across the nation.

Military-style semi-automatic assault weapons are designed to efficiently kill as many people as possible in the shortest amount of time. Our schools, malls, concerts, movie theaters, stores, restaurants, nightclubs, food festivals, streets, workplaces, and places of worship are being turned into war zones filled with terror, devastation, and terrible loss.

Today, you can demand an end to the carnage.

An effective federal ban on the civilian use of assault weapons, high capacity magazines, and bump stocks through H.R. 1296 and S. 66 Assault Weapons Ban of 2019 are long past due for a hearing and a vote. 

NOW is the time to act!

Thank you for all you do,

Karen Abrams, Interim Executive Director

States United to Prevent Gun Violence
