John,

In Highland Park, IL, a young man fired 70 rounds of ammunition into a crowd of people, killing 7 people and injuring over 30 more. This shooting was made more deadly because of the weapon that was used: An assault rifle manufactured by Smith & Wesson – the same gun that was used to kill my daughter, Jaime, and 16 of her peers and teachers in Parkland, FL. That gunman fired 150 rounds of ammunition. 

These are not the only mass shootings in which these deadly weapons have been used, either, in fact, gun manufacturers willfully market them to young men enamored with military fantasies – like the the 22-year-old shooter in Highland Park and the 19-year-old shooter in Parkland. And that's exactly why it's time to hold gun manufacturers accountable for their role in the gun violence epidemic.

Brady has been fighting to do just that: Last September, Brady filed a complaint with the FTC to investigate Smith & Wesson's dangerous marketing tactics. I work with Brady because our goal is the same: Stop this senseless killing and we need your help. Please, John, will you add your name to our petition to hold Smith & Wesson accountable for their dangerous marketing tactics?

No one should have to experience the pain that my family and I did, and still do, after losing Jaime to gun violence. So each day, I continue to fight to stop mass shootings and gun violence in any way I can, and holding gun manufacturers will do just that. 

Will you join me and honor Jaime and the countless other victims of mass shooters armed with assault weapons? Add your name now to support holding Smith & Wesson accountable and prevent mass shootings. >>

Thank you,
