John—We have a HUGE victory to celebrate: Washington has officially restricted high-capacity magazines!
This is a policy we have been fighting for for six years. We never gave up because we know this law will save lives. Give now →

In Las Vegas, more than 1,000 shots were fired in about 10 minutes, killing 58 people and wounding more than 500. In Parkland, 17 people were killed and 17 were wounded in less than five minutes. In Dayton, nine people were killed and 27 were wounded in just 32 seconds.
High-capacity magazines fueled each of those shootings. Now finally, these extraordinary lethal tools will no longer be bought and sold in our communities.
And that’s not the only victory we have to celebrate. Lawmakers also took action to protect our democracy from the threat of armed intimidation by restricting firearms at local meetings and election-related locations. And they closed the deadly ghost gun loophole, which made it easy for anyone to get a fully-functional, untraceable firearm no questions asked.
These victories prove that progress IS possible. They prove that together we can take on the gun lobby and win!
Despite our progress, gun violence continues to take an unfathomable toll on our communities. There is more we can and must do to prevent gun violence. Please, donate now to help us continue our fight to save lives and end the gun violence epidemic once and for all.
