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. >>
