John,
It's been nearly 30 years since there was a federal ban on assault weapons – firearms designed to kill as many people as possible, as quickly as possible.
For the 10 years that a ban was in effect, deaths caused by assault rifles were notably reduced, confirming what we already knew: This policy saves lives. Banning these weapons of war means stopping the next tragedy – because these weapons are the common link between all of the deadliest mass shootings in the US:
22 killed in Uvalde
5 killed in Colorado Springs, while 25 others were injured
7 killed in Highland Park, while 48 others were injured
10 killed in Buffalo
17 killed in Parkland, while 17 more were injured
61 killed in Las Vegas
The 118th Congress was just sworn in – with many gun violence champions among the class – and they're expected to introduce an assault weapon ban soon. Reinstating this lifesaving ban could not be more critical after multiple, record-breaking years of deadly gun violence. John, and we need to make it absolutely clear to our lawmakers: Take these deadly weapons off the street.
Can you help us show Congress that the majority of Americans support banning weapons of war? Right now, we need 214 more responses to this urgent survey before 11:59 p.m. –– but we just checked our records, and it looks like we haven't heard from you yet. Please, will you update your record and let us know now whether or not you support banning assault weapons? [[link removed]]
