John,
Three years ago, a white supremacist with an assault weapon murdered 51 people at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand.
Then, less than a week after the shooting, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced a nationwide ban on military-style assault weapons — and parliament passed it with near-unanimous support.
For those of us here in the United States, that kind of swift response feels almost unfathomable. Gun violence survivors, like those who lead at Brady, have been fighting for tangible change — and pushing through their own grief — for years. And yet, even after hundreds of mass shootings, nothing changes.
Just yesterday, four people were killed with an AR-15 style firearm in Tulsa, Oklahoma. This is after the horrific massacre in Uvalde, TX, where 19 children and two teachers were killed by a gunman with an assault weapon. John, this will keep happening if we don't finally take action: We owe it to victims in Uvalde, Tulsa, and across the country to ban the weapons used to kill them. Not one more child or adult should lose their life to a gunman with a weapon of war. Now, after yet another horrific massacre in Uvalde, TX, we owe it to the 19 children and two teachers to ban the weapon that was used to kill them. Not one more child or adult should lose their life to a gunman with a weapon of war.
But change can't happen without you, John – that's why I'm asking for your help today. We're looking for 2,500 gun violence prevention champions to affirm their commitment to this fight before 11:59 p.m. tonight, and your response is missing: 

Should Congress take action to ban military-style assault weapons?
