Folks, Two years ago today, a quiet community in south Florida was ripped apart when a gunman opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and took the lives of 17 innocent people in the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history. At the time, it felt like the country might finally work together to address the issue of gun violence. Even President Trump said that he’d “do something” — until the NRA got to him. Two years later, nothing has changed, and our kids are not any safer in school than they were on that day. And so, since the tragedy in Parkland, I’ve redoubled my efforts to end the epidemic of gun violence. I started this fight back when I was mayor of Providence and helped found Mayors Against Illegal Guns. I've continued to lead the fight in Congress as Vice-Chair of the Gun Violence Task Force. I’ve also introduced legislation to reinstate the Assault Weapons Ban and to keep guns out of the hands of people who shouldn’t have them. While the Democratic majority in Congress has made some progress by passing a universal background checks bill through the House, Republicans in the Senate have successfully stopped any gun safety legislation from becoming law. It’s become clear that the only way things are going to change is if we change who we send to Washington. That is why today I launched the Gun Safety Political Action Committee (PAC) to help elect candidates to Congress who are 100% committed to ending gun violence in our country. Gun Safety PAC, which is the only congressional leadership PAC dedicated to ending gun violence, will identify and support candidates who will vote for and pass gun safety legislation that will put an end to this crisis. I ask you to join me in this effort by contributing to Gun Safety PAC today.
I’m confident that if we work together and support candidates who are not afraid of the NRA we can finally address the issue of gun violence. We owe it to all those who have lost their lives to gun violence and to the families they have left behind to pass meaningful gun safety legislation into law. Thank you, -- David
