ENOUGH is ENOUGH! Pass an assault weapons ban NOW!
I am outraged and embarrassed that just days after a mass shooting took the lives of 49 Americans in Orlando, the Senate is STILL unable to pass even the most mild and widely supported of gun control measures. When Congress cannot even approve universal background checks – a measure supported by more than 4 out of 5 gun owners – the stranglehold that the NRA has over Congress just becomes a shameful national joke. I will not stand by while my fellow Americans – even children at school! – are gunned down by weapons of war that have no place in our communities. No one needs an assault weapon to hunt or for personal protection. The only purpose of such weapons is to inflict massive casualties in a short period of time and that is a power that no civilian should have. I demand that you do everything in your power to ensure that an assault weapons ban passes before the end of this Congress. The Supreme Court has rebuffed a challenge to this type of ban and President Obama has said he supports it. If Congress fails to do anything to get these murder machines out of the hands of those who would do us harm, the blood of the victims of the next mass shooting will be solely on your hands.
