Team —

Did you catch our last email? This is our chance to pass the biggest federal piece of gun safety legislation in over 25 years. But we have to act — we might not get this opportunity again.

Gun lobbyists — and their puppets, like Senator Mitch McConnell — are desperate to stop this bill. We can’t let the NRA and their army of lobbyists win this fight.

The pressure is on! Sign our petition today to demand the Senate take action and pass common-sense gun legislation, immediately >>>

Thanks for your support,

Blue America Project

Team,

House Democrats just passed two major bills that strengthen gun laws, including expanding background checks. Now, it’s up to the Senate to get these bills on President Biden’s desk. Add your name NOW and demand that the Senate strengthen our gun laws >>>

Gun violence has been an epidemic in our country for too long, Team. Domestic violence, mass shootings, and hate crimes don’t happen in a vacuum. This week alone, eight more innocent people in Atlanta, Georgia were added to the long list of mass shooting statistics.

⚫  Sandy Hook Elementary School, December 14, 2012 — 26 dead, two wounded.

⚫  Charleston, South Carolina, June 17, 2015 — 9 dead.

⚫  Parkland, Florida, February 14, 2018 — 17 dead, 17 wounded.

⚫  Atlanta, Georgia, March 16, 2021 — 8 dead, one wounded

Thoughts and prayers mean nothing without action. We don’t have to live in a country where mass shootings are just another fact of life.

The NRA and GOP are spewing propaganda to keep the gun lobbyists rich. Here’s the worst part — Sen. Mitch McConnell has repeatedly rejected Democrats’ efforts to pass commonsense gun legislation since the Sandy Hook shooting in 2012.

And he continues to stand in the way of making meaningful change.

Passing these bills should be common sense. We have a chance to expand background checks, close the “Charleston loophole” and the gun show loophole, and extend background check review periods. But Republicans say no.

It’s time to stand up and say enough is enough. Sign our petition to demand the Senate take action and pass commonsense gun legislation, now!

Let's get it done,
