John,

In fewer than two weeks, people across the United States have witnessed
two horrific, heartbreaking mass shootings that killed 31 people, and
impacted the lives of countless others.

The shootings took place in an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, and a
grocery store in Buffalo, New York. Sadly for our nation, this isn’t
anything new as there are more mass shootings than there are days in the
year.

What’s so infuriating about this is that the vast majority of Americans
support common-sense measures like an assault weapons ban, but Republicans
continue to block it.

us from taking action. Write to your members of Congress right now to tell
them to do everything they can to BAN assault weapons.

Take Action: [link removed]

The reality is that from 1994 to 2004 when we had an assault weapons ban,
mass shootings fell by over 40 percent.

Every day that Congress doesn’t get these dangerous weapons off of the
streets is another day more lives are lost to seemingly endless mass
shootings.

It’s past time for Congress to do their damn jobs and protect the lives of
our children and loved ones. Now is the time to build public pressure for
action.

assault weapons ban NOW >>

Thanks for always being with us on this critical issue,
