In 1994, Brady helped pass the original assault weapons ban – and mass shootings decreased.
In 2004, the ban expired, and the NRA’s deadly influence blocked it from being renewed. Since then mass shootings have increased by over 300%. We witnessed them in Buffalo. Uvalde. Highland Park. Odessa. Dayton. Aurora. Parkland. Poway. Orlando. Las Vegas. Pittsburgh. Newtown. Charleston.
But Brady kept fighting. To honor the victims and survivors of these mass tragedies and stop yet another city from being added to that list.
Now, in 2022, the House passed an assault weapons ban, and we won’t stop working until this is the law of the land.
