ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN
In union with the Catholic Church and our parish’s continuing efforts to address the issue of “gun violence,” please call your Senators to encourage them to vote in favor of S736, an assault weapons ban, which made it through the US House of Representatives earlier this year. Our Senators need to hear from their constituents that this is really something that will save lives: After the assault weapons ban of 1994, which lasted 10 years, we saw that there can be a 70% decrease in mortality from mass shootings when such legislation is in place. Please, if you are in favor, consider calling Senator Burr 202-224-3154 and Senator Tillis 202-224-6342. https://www.senate.gov/states/NC/intro.htm NOW is the time to get this passed, because if it does not come to a vote and pass before the end of the calendar year, it will die and is unlikely to make it through the House again next year.
