41 shots in 30 seconds

Hi John, Three years ago, back to back mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton shook the nation. On August 3, 2019, the country went to sleep grieving the senseless act of anti-immigrant hate and white supremacy that stole 23 lives and wounded 23 others at a Walmart in El…

This is essential

Dear John,  In the first 213 days of 2022, more than 25,000 people have been killed by guns in the U.S.   We cannot afford to elect leaders who won’t act on gun violence prevention. The longer we face inaction, the more lives are lost. So please, support our Victory Fu…

URGENT: New high-capacity magazine lawsuit!

This is bad, John. Our opponents have filed ANOTHER lawsuit to try to block the lifesaving high-capacity magazine restrictions that took effect on July 1st. They’re hoping a court will put these restrictions on hold while the case is settled.  Let us be clear: We know …

Historic setback

Hi John, Last Thursday, six radical Supreme Court Justices made our country less safe. The majority overturned a century-old New York State gun law, rejected decades of precedent, and ignored the will of the American people. The New York State Rifle & Pistol Associ…

John, Today six unelected judges issued a decision that will make our communities less safe. A radical supermajority in the Supreme Court–including three Trump-appointed justices–overturned a century-old New York State law requiring people to have a permit to carry a c…

Ghost guns are real guns
