This week marks two years since the mass shootings in Atlanta, GA, and Boulder, CO. In honor of these anniversaries, we've set a goal to gather 25,000 responses to our poll by midnight, but we're still missing your response, John. Please, let us know:
|
Do you think Congress should ban assault weapons?
|
This poll was generated for [email protected] and will expire at 11:59 p.m. tonight.

John, two years ago, communities on opposite sides of our country were torn apart by two back-to-back mass shootings.
|
In Atlanta, a gunman went on a violent rampage targeting Asian-Americans and killed eight people. Less than a week later, another gunman in Boulder, CO, used a semi-automatic AR-15 style assault weapon to murder 10 people at a local grocery store.
|
Now, in 2023, we've already seen 110 mass shootings — more than the number of days in the year so far. Just a few months ago, families in Monterey Park, CA, and Half Moon Bay, CA, were forever changed by shootings that occurred just 44 hours apart.

We've taken meaningful steps to curb the gun violence epidemic since these shootings, but we have failed to ban weapons of war from our streets. Banning assault weapons is not only proven to save lives, it’s also supported by the majority of Americans. Yet, politicians in the gun lobby’s pocket have blocked this legislation at every turn and willfully let people die in the process. The mass casualties in Atlanta, Boulder, and far too many other cities should not have been possible, but we can take action to prevent the next tragedy.
|
That's why we're asking 10,000 activists to take a stand for the victims of mass shootings and honor those we’ve lost with action. It's time to demand change – and refuse to take no for an answer. Please, will you join us by responding to our urgent poll before midnight tonight?
