We’ll make this quick.
The Florida State House is likely to vote on Governor Ron DeSantis’ horrifying permitless carry bill TOMORROW.
If this bill passes, it would allow gun owners to carry CONCEALED weapons in public with NO training, NO background check, and NO permit.
That’s why gun safety activists are outside the State Capitol right now protesting this deadly bill.
As one of our top supporters, we need your support now more than ever. Can you rush your immediate support to stop permitless carry and help us REPLACE any coward who supports it with a gun safety champion? >>
Thanks for your support,
Team Ban Assault Weapons NOW!
P.S. Take further action to stop Permitless Carry in Florida here >>

TAMPA BAY TIMES: Permitless carry bill speeds through process despite concern on both sides
Things are moving fast, so we’ll get right to the point:
We need you to know three facts about the dangerous permitless carry bill that Governor Ron DeSantis is SPEEDING through the Florida legislature.
1. The bill would allow anyone to carry hidden and loaded guns in public with NO safety training, NO background check, and NO permit.
2. Studies overwhelmingly show that states with similar bills experience an increase in gun violence.
3. The Tampa Bay Times revealed that DeSantis is RAMMING the bill through the legislature just to mark off a “political checkbox” for his run for President in 2024.
Hear us loud and clear: Ron DeSantis is willing to SACRIFICE innocent lives just to gain political support.
Here’s our plan: We’re counting on 481 supporters to chip in before midnight to PROVE that we strongly disapprove of permitless carry and Ron DeSantis’ dangerous political games. If we don’t take immediate action, countless innocent lives could be put at risk. Will you rush in $15 to help us stop DeSantis’ plans to make permitless carry the law of the land? >>
The evidence is clear.
In the last year, almost 40,000 permits were either denied or revoked.
But DeSantis’ dangerous plan would strip these important provisions that keep these gun owners from carrying loaded weapons in public.
So it’s no surprise that states that weaken their public carry laws see a 15% increase in violent crime and an 11% increase in homicides committed with handguns.
There’s no time to wait. Republican Legislators are RUSHING to put this dangerous plan on DeSantis’ desk so he can use it to gain support for his potential Presidential run. We can’t let that happen. We need 481 more gifts before midnight to fully fund our campaign to show Republicans we won’t stay silent while they play politics with our lives and STOP permitless carry. Can we count on you to chip in $15? >>
Thank you,
