Urge the Senate to Pass the Assault Weapons Ban
Mass shootings are a painful reality in our country. No group or place seems exempt: children and churchgoers, grocery stores and nightclubs alike are affected. But one thing that’s common is the weapon of choice used to commit the violence. It is almost always an assault weapon.
The House just passed an assault weapons ban for the first time in almost 30 years. This legislation will criminalize the knowing sale, manufacture, transfer, possession, or importation of many types of semi-automatic weapons and large-capacity ammunition feeding devices. In other words, it will take weapons of war off our streets. With increased momentum due to the House passage of the bill, there is a real chance to pass this legislation. We haven’t been this close to a nationwide assault weapons ban in decades and we must keep up the pressure.
RSVP HERE to join the Newtown Action Alliance #EndGunViolence Lunch & Lobby sessions during the month of August from noon to 2 pm ET. Their Federal Legislation team will lead you to strongly urge the Senate to pass the assault weapons ban. You can also contact your Senators directly using this link.
