The Cascade Mall shooter carried out his attack with a semi-automatic assault rifle equipped with a high-capacity magazine. High-capacity magazines make it easier to fire more rounds, faster. In other words, they make shootings deadlier. And this is one reason why they are so common among mass shooters.
This year, we finally passed lifesaving restrictions on high-capacity magazines in Washington–a victory six years in the making. The law took effect on July 1st and our gun lobby opponents have already filed TWO lawsuits in desperate attempts to block the measure.
We know this law is constitutional. And we know that it will help prevent tragedies like the Cascade Mall shooting from continuing to happen. But we need your help to take on the gun lobby.
We’ve faced our gun lobby opponents in court almost a dozen times and remain undefeated. But success is not a guarantee. These battles take time and resources. And our opposition is banking on us running out of both.
Please, honor the Cascade Mall victims, and each gun violence victim taken from us far too soon, with action by funding our fight to protect lifesaving high-capacity magazine restrictions.
Thank you,
