Dear John,

We are 210 days into 2025 and already there have been at least 254 mass shootings across the country. The latest one to break into national news took place yesterday in midtown Manhattan, when an armed gunman walked into an office building at the end of a work day and opened fire.

Four people were killed, including an NYPD officer. One other person was shot and is in stable condition. And once again, innocent people are suffering the consequences of our leaders failing to pass the gun laws that save lives.

Gun violence threatens Americans every single day. Donate to GIFFORDS Law Center today to help us fight back.

We know the shooter wore body armor and carried an assault weapon. We know he drove from Nevada and his car contained an additional weapon and ammunition. And while law enforcement is still investigating the details, at the end of the day what matters is that an extremely dangerous individual was able to access a gun, carry it into a building, and wreak havoc. It’s long past time to close the glaring loopholes that make it alarmingly easy for everyday Americans to be gunned down without warning.

Our attorneys are working tirelessly in states like Nevada and New York to strengthen gun safety laws. Donations from people who understand the urgency of this crisis are the only way we can keep up the pressure on state leaders to do the right thing. Can you make a gift to GIFFORDS Law Center today?

We refuse to accept horrific acts of violence like this as normal, and we won’t stop fighting for a safer America.

Gratefully,
David
