Other countries have banned deadly weapons of war after heinous tragedies while the U.S. has failed to act time and again. Our lawmakers have capitulated to the gun lobby for too long and we cannot accept inaction when our communities are at risk. This shouldn't be a partisan issue, it's an American issue.

Despite continuous mass murder in the United States, weapons of war remain in our communities. Take action to honor victims of American mass shootings and to stop the next one. Tell lawmakers to ban assault weapons NOW >>

Friend,

This month marks painful memorials of two tragedies that have become all too commonplace in the United States of America.

Seven years ago today, a gunman entered a synagogue in Pittsburgh, PA, armed with an assault weapon and murdered 11 people.

Years later, on October 25, 2023, a gunman with an assault weapon killed 18 people in a restaurant and a bowling alley in Lewiston, ME.

While these tragedies are separated by years, the deadly weapons used to wreak havoc on these communities are the same: Assault weapons. These firearms are meant for the battlefield, not for places of worship, restaurants, or bowling alleys. They are designed to kill as many people as possible, as quickly as possible.

What’s worse is that lawmakers failed to ban assault weapons seven years ago, two years ago, and every tragedy in between. Everyday life is under constant threat because our lawmakers refuse to act in the interest of our safety. Americans deserve to feel safe in their daily lives. YOU deserve safety, friend.

As we remember these tragedies, we're asking activists to raise your voices for change. Please, will you add your name to our rapid-response petition calling for our leaders to take immediate action to ban assault weapons for good?

URGENT RESPONSE NEEDED:

Tell lawmakers to ban assault weapons NOW. >>

Deadline 11:59 p.m. tonight

It’s long past time for change – thanks for continuing to fight.
