This weekend, there was another mass shooting in Philadelphia. We hope that you and your loved ones are safe.
As we continue to recover from the mass-shootings that shook our nation last month, Mary Gay has been in Washington working on an absolutely essential gun violence prevention legislation package.
Last Thursday, as a member of the House Judiciary Committee, Mary Gay went to battle for the Protecting Our Kids Act. In a grueling nine hour meeting, Mary Gay went head-to-head with Republicans, fighting for this critical legislation to protect Americans from reckless gun violence.
Mary Gay makes it clear, when it comes to saving lives from preventable gun violence, it takes political courage.
And we owe our courage to victims, families, and all Americans who deserve to live free of fear.
So it’s important that we take a moment to fully explain to you what the Protecting Our Kids Act will accomplish.
But before we get into the weeds on the legislation, instantly sign on to support the Protecting Our Kids Act if you want to see immediate action on common sense gun violence prevention [[link removed]] .

The Protecting Our Kids Act is the result of determined Democrats like Mary Gay. Here are just some of the highlights from this legislation package:
*
Raise
the
age
of
purchasing
semi-automatic
weapons
from
18
to
21
*
Restricts
access
to
untraceable,
so-called
‘ghost
guns’
(like
the
one
used
this
weekend
in
PA)
*
Advances
safe
storage
practices
of
firearms
at
home
*
Requires
the
registration
of
existing
bump
stocks
and
bans
the
sale
of
dangerous
bump
stocks
to
civilians
*
Bans
the
import,
sale,
and
manufacturing
of
high-capacity
magazines
As Congress prepares to vote on this legislation (hopefully this week!), we need your help to show that Americans are ready for Congress to pass this legislation now. Sign on now to support the Protecting Our Kids Act and tell Congress you are ready to see comprehensive gun violence prevention legislation [[link removed]] .
The GOP and gun lobby are standing by ready to back pro-gun candidates, and with less than six months until the midterm elections, the clock is ticking. Democrats are working to make sure this moment does not pass without action, and we know Republicans will continue to do nothing in the face of a tragedy to keep their gun-lobby bankrollers happy.
More to come,
Sam
