John,

This weekend marks three years since 26 people, including eight children, were murdered at a Sunday church service in Sutherland Springs, TX, and four years since 12 people were murdered at the Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks, CA.

It’s weighing heavy on my mind right now because I too closely understand the insurmountable pain that comes when you lose a loved one to gun violence. My name is Robert Schentrup and my sister, Carmen Schentrup, was shot and killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL, in 2018.

You see, friend, while these shootings happened in different states at different times, they all have something in common: The gunman who carried out the attacks utilized high-capacity magazines to increase the lethality of their attacks.

The Sutherland Springs gunman was armed with a semi-automatic rifle and two 30-round high-capacity magazines. The Thousand Oaks gunman was armed with a semi-automatic pistol and seven high-capacity magazines. And in Parkland, where my sister was murdered in a matter of seconds, the gunman was armed with a 10-round high-capacity magazine.

As a survivor of gun violence, I’m here to tell you this: No citizen should be able to have access to these weapons of war. [[link removed]]
Whether it’s my hometown of Parkland or Sutherland Springs or Thousand Oaks, time and again, high-capacity magazines are the device of choice for America’s mass murderers to attach to their weapons. And that’s for one reason, and one reason only: to kill as many people, as quickly as possible. That’s why I’m reaching out to you today, friend.

I can’t bring my sister Carmen back, and the communities of Sutherland Springs and Thousand Oaks can’t bring their loved ones back. But we can ban high-capacity magazines and assault weapons to prevent any more loss of life. [[link removed]] I’ve been working with Brady and Team ENOUGH for years to ban these deadly weapons. Please, friend, lend me a hand and urge Congress right now to ban high-capacity magazines and assault-style weapons, once and for all. [[link removed]]

DEMAND CONGRESS ACT [[link removed]]It’s vitally important that we support victims and survivors [[link removed]] of gun violence.

So, after you make your voice heard to Congress [[link removed]] , please read and share our resources to support victims and survivors of gun violence.

This week, the Supreme Court of the United States heard NYSRPA Inc. v. Bruen — an NRA-backed case that threatens to gut common-sense gun safety laws across the country.

We refuse to accept the NRA’s reckless “guns everywhere” agenda. So we rallied outside of the Supreme Court before oral arguments with Giffords, Everytown for Gun Safety, the Community Justice Action Fund, and gun violence survivors like Fred Guttenberg with one clear message: gun laws save lives!

We’ll find out exactly how the court rules in the coming months. But in the meantime, please help us spread awareness about the first major Second Amendment case that the Supreme Court heard in ten years.
