School shootings plague American life, with every student and parent fearing that their child's school is next – yet our lawmakers have failed to act. It’s time for Congress to keep children safe: Tell Congress to pass the Assault Weapons Ban of 2025 NOW. >> [[link removed]]

John,
When the community of Graz, Austria, experienced a horrifying school shooting that left 11 students dead and 10 others injured, the country came together for three days to mourn the lives lost. Then, only eight days later, the government took action . When mass tragedies occur in other countries, they fight to make sure it’ll never happen again:
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.
Now, we have the chance to get these weapons of war out of our communities. When shooters use military style assault weapons, mass attacks are deadlier, allowing them to shoot more bullets, faster. There is no place for these guns off the battlefield– and there is no place for assault weapons in schools.
Congress has introduced the Assault Weapons Ban of 2025. We must urge our lawmakers to take life-saving action. John, we can put an end to this deadly cycle. Sign the petition to tell Congress to ban assault weapons now. >> [[link removed]]
URGENT RESPONSE NEEDED:
Tell lawmakers to ban military-style assault weapons NOW.
