Friends -
In just the past year, 3 of the 10 worst mass shootings in modern American history have been carried out with semi-automatic assault weapons.
Americans are outraged that weapons specifically designed for war are consistently being used in horrific mass shootings.
The easy availability of semi-automatic assault weapons has turned places that are supposed to be safe – schools, churches, concerts – into scenes of terror.
That’s why we need Congress to regulate assault weapons under the National Firearms Act, and ban their future sale & manufacture—just like we did for machine guns.
Let us make one thing clear: it’s possible to protect the rights of law-abiding gun owners and better protect our communities from the hail of gunfire produced by a semi-automatic assault weapon.
We can do two things at the same time and save lives.
Now we need Congress to do more to protect communities from particularly lethal firearms that transform determined killers into killing machines.
With your support, we are confident we can accomplish this, and that starts by letting us know where you stand:
Thanks for making your voice heard,
