John —
A federal judge just overturned California’s assault weapons ban.
He likened the AR-15 to a “Swiss Army Knife.”
And then spread an anti-vax falsehood that “more people have died from the Covid-19 vaccine than mass shootings in California.”
This is a direct result of Republican presidents packing the lower courts with ideologues, and congressional inaction on gun violence prevention laws.
We need to take a stand against these dangerious ideas and false claims. The Senate must take action to reinstate the federal assault weapons ban. Add your name if you agree. [[link removed]]

After President Biden’s Rose Garden press conference rallying support for my Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act in April, I wrote to you that we had already lost over 11,000 people to gun violence this year, seen another 8,000 injured, and witnessed 133 mass shootings.
In just two months, those numbers have virtually doubled. Over 19,000 gun violence deaths. Over 16,000 injured. And 258 mass shootings. Enough.
The AR-15 and weapons like it are not akin to a Swiss Army Knife — it’s a weapon of war. And treating it any other way is an insult to those who have suffered because of this weapon.
The NRA and its Republican allies have fought for decades to stop even the most common-sense reforms, but the bottom line is this: We are the only developed nation in the world that tolerates this kind of bloodshed. It doesn’t have to be this way.
Add your name to join me in demanding the Senate reinstate the federal assault weapons ban. We can’t let NRA talking points or anti-vax misinformation stop us from protecting our communities. [[link removed]]

Gun violence victims and their families need justice. We must do all we can to enact common-sense gun laws so no more lives are lost to this scourge.
