BREAKING: FLORIDA HOUSE PANEL APPROVES BILL TO LOWER PURCHASING AGE FOR RIFLES, LONG GUNS


We’re sounding the alarms.

FIRST:
A 19-year-old opened fire on Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School 5 years ago -- killing 17 students and educators with an AR-15 he LEGALLY purchased.

THEN:
Florida passed a bipartisan law to raise the age to buy a gun from 18 to 21 years old.

NOW:
A Florida State House Republican-led panel just approved a bill to reverse that provision and lower the minimum age back to 18 years old.


We’re horrified -- so we’re taking immediate action to stop this bill before it goes for a vote.


We need 628 supporters to chip in before midnight to help us PROVE the public unequivocally disapproves of Florida Republicans’ DANGEROUS plans. If we don’t do something -- NOW -- countless innocent lives could be put at risk. Will you rush in $15 to help us stop the gun lobby’s reckless actions and keep our communities safe? >>


This is urgent.

People aged 18 to 20 commit gun homicides 300% more than 21-year-olds.

Yet Florida legislators continue to ignore the bloodshed and push to DESTROY life-saving gun laws.


We need 628 more gifts before midnight to fully fund our campaign to stop this bill in its tracks, DEFEAT the gun lobby, and elect gun safety champions who are committed to keeping our communities safe. Can we count on you to pitch in $15 right away? >>


Chip in $15 now >>

Chip in $25 now >>

Chip in $50 now >>

Chip in $100 now >>

Chip in another amount now >>

Thank you,

Team Ban Assault Weapons NOW!

 

 

 

 

 

 
        
Take action to STOP Permitless and Untrained Carry from passing in Florida here.


BAWN is committed to replacing every cowardly and complacent lawmaker, regardless of party, that denies your right to live without fear of being shot. Legislators that support the deadly proliferation of guns, instead of common sense gun safety measures, are responsible for the carnage of gun violence -- and must be voted out.

BAWN also lobbies legislators to support the assault weapon and large capacity magazine ban bills that will help put an end to the slaughter of innocent Americans.

But they can’t do this alone. BAWN is relying on your support to kick every coward who refuses to protect our children and families OUT of office. Will you chip in right away?
