Hey John – A few weeks ago I reached out asking you to sign-on as a citizen co-sponsor for the assault weapons ban legislation. The Senate has been on recess, but they’ll be back in session in just 8 days. Will you add your name today to demand that the Senate bring this to a vote?

It’s crucial that we keep up the momentum, John. An assault weapons ban could have prevented the shooters in hundreds of mass shootings across the country from legally acquiring the high-powered guns that they massacred civilians with. We must send a message loud and clear that these tragedies will no longer be tolerated.

The Senate will be reconvening on September 6th, and it’s on all of us to ramp up the pressure to ensure that this legislation is brought to a vote. Please sign on now as a citizen co-sponsor and demand that the Senate pass an assault weapons ban →

SIGN HERE

We’re in this together, John. I deeply appreciate your support.

Best,
Lucy McBath

PREVIOUS MESSAGE:

John, the House of Representatives just passed a renewed Assault Weapons Ban Bill, but we need your support to get it passed in the Senate. Sign on as a citizen co-sponsor to let the Senate know that we must pass this bill to prevent further mass shootings →

Hey John,

I’m thrilled to let you know that this past Friday, I led the way in passing a renewed assault weapons ban in the House! This is a big victory for our gun safety movement – it’s the result of tireless advocacy for gun reform from myself, my Democratic colleagues, and concerned citizens like you.

There’s a reason that this same type of ultra-powerful firearm is being used over and over again in mass shootings like the recent tragedies in Highland Park and Uvalde. Gun manufacturers are marketing these weapons of war to teenagers while Republican lawmakers cash campaign checks from the NRA and look the other way. 

John, it’s time to ramp up the pressure. Will you sign on as a citizen co-sponsor and tell the Senate that we need an assault weapons ban? Click here to sign on →

However, the fight is just getting started. It must now pass a vote in the Senate in order to become law. Unfortunately, we know that NRA-backed Republicans are going to come out in full force to try and shut any assault weapons ban down in the name of the 2nd Amendment.

I know a bad faith argument when I see one, John. Our founding fathers were legislating with muskets in mind, not AR-15s firing 45 rounds a minute (or up to 400 if modified with a bump stock). These are guns designed for killing people quickly – they are weapons of war, and we need to get them out of our communities to prevent further tragedies.

I’ve been leading the charge on gun safety since I was elected to Congress in 2018. We have an epidemic of mass shootings in America, and passing this major legislation would be a huge step in the right direction. Sign on today to show your support for this movement→

Sincerely,
Lucy McBath
