We need to talk about this, John.

2022 is officially the deadliest year for mass shootings. Philadelphia is all too familiar with gun violence. We are fast approaching 500 homicides in Philly alone.

Even if you personally have not been impacted by this carnage, someone close to you likely has. It’s an issue on everyone’s mind. It takes a toll on our families, neighborhoods, mental health, physical health, and economy.

Enough is enough.

I introduced an all-hands-on-deck response to the gun violence crisis in Philly and America. My seven-part plan uses every tool available at the federal, state, and local government levels to help save lives, including getting illegal guns off our streets.

Everyone deserves to live peacefully without fear of being gunned down. Period. If you’re with me, add your name to my petition and stand with me in the fight to address the gun violence epidemic with bold solutions.

President Joe Biden signed the most significant gun safety legislation that America has seen in 30 years. And I joined House Democrats in forwarding a bill that will BAN assault weapons.

Massive gun safety legislation is possible, and we will make it happen. I will continue working to pass legislation to curb gun violence and save lives.

In solidarity,

Dwight
