Dear MoveOn member, 

A homophobic mass shooting at a queer nightclub and safe space in Colorado
Springs, Colorado, left five people dead and 19 injured.^1

The suspect used an AR-15-style semiautomatic rifle.^2

A mass shooting in Chesapeake, Virginia, left seven dead after a manager
opened fire in an employee break room during a meeting before killing
himself.^3

The gunman purchased the gun used to carry out the killings the same day
of the shooting.^4

These are two of the 617 mass shootings that have occurred in America in
2022.^5

These killings are entirely preventable. No other developed country in the
world faces mass shootings and epidemic levels of gun violence as we do.
And we must do everything in our power to pass nationwide gun control laws
that stop the violence.

pressure Congress to enact sensible gun control laws?



John, on January 3, 2023, Republicans take over the U.S. House.
We know they will cower to the NRA and block all gun control legislation. 

That means we have only a matter of weeks to pass critical gun control
laws that prevent future mass shootings. 

Only a matter of weeks. 

But we can get it done—if we work together to amend the filibuster and get
every Democratic senator to vote for gun control. 

The good news is that President Biden is making it a priority to pass an
assault weapons ban before the GOP takes over the House in January.^6

Congress to pass an assault weapons ban?



Thanks for all you do.
