John,

As a 24-year veteran of the Air Force, I don’t take gun ownership lightly.
I was trained for safety and accountability, and I have always been
acutely aware of the potential dangers that come with being armed.

When I was deployed in Iraq and Bosnia, I took the utmost care to handle
my weapon responsibly in order to keep myself and the people around me
safe. As a civilian, I take gun ownership just as seriously, and I always
store my gun securely—unloaded, locked, and separate from ammunition—when
out of use.

This is one of the reasons why I am so troubled by the NRA's reckless
"guns everywhere" agenda. The National Rifle Association leadership
doesn’t appear to be interested in responsible gun ownership, public
safety, or anything other than their bottom line. Instead, they fly around
the world in private jets, spend obscene sums on lawyers, and foment
extremism—all while trying to roll back common-sense gun safety laws like
requiring background checks on all gun sales.

Gun violence kills more than 100 people every single day in our country
and wounds hundreds more. We have collectively shouldered the staggering
weight of gun violence, and we can’t put up with it any longer. That's why
I volunteer with the North Carolina Chapter of Moms Demand Action and
serve on the Everytown Veterans Advisory Council.

Everytown and Moms Demand Action are working every day to defeat the NRA's
extremism, advocate for common-sense gun safety measures, and end gun
violence in America. And we rely on your grassroots support to keep our

We need leaders who can stand up to the pressure from the gun lobby and
NRA’s extreme leadership, and we need legislators to make data-driven
decisions that will make us safer on a larger scale. We need to push past
the noise, politicization, and rhetoric that is working to divide us and
come together to make our country safer.

Thank you for being a part of this movement,
