Last Friday, Kyle Rittenhouse — who used his AR-15-style rifle to shoot and kill two people, and injure another — was found not guilty for the five felonies he was charged with.

This verdict is a stark reminder that weapons of war do NOT belong on our streets.

Firearms are dangerous weapons, as anyone who has served in a combat zone knows. These aren’t toys. We aren’t safer or freer as a society when a teenager with little training is able to irresponsibly obtain a firearm and use it in the street.

That is why VoteVets is committed to electing progressive veterans who understand the responsibility that comes with owning a firearm, and will work to ensure people who shouldn’t get their hands on one can’t walk into a store and buy one.

Will you rush a contribution now to help us elect progressive veterans who want to pass reasonable gun safety reforms in this country? We can’t do this critical work without your support.

Kyle Rittenhouse benefited from our nation’s weak gun laws. We must take on the gun lobby and pass laws that protect us all.

Thank you for your support.
