Stop School Shootings! Pass the GOSAFE Act and BUMP Act

As a constituent, I am writing as I grieve with the families traumatized and robbed of their children by yet another school shooting. It doesn't (and shouldn't) be this way. I urge you to support measures that would ban assault weapons including the GOSAFE Act (H.R. 2790/S.1370) and BUMP Act (S.1374). Mass shootings are a uniquely American problem. The deadliest mass shootings have involved assault weapons, and the data shows that bans work. When a federal ban was in place, the rate of gun massacres decreased. Once the ban expired, gun massacres increased dramatically. Assault weapons are not designed for hunting; they are weapons of war. Guns are the number one killer of kids in America. If government officials truly care about birth rates and population decline, let alone be pro-life and family first, they would do something about safer and stricter gun laws. We can protect lives and the rights of responsible gun owners. I strongly support these bills. Please prioritize public safety and show your commitment to ending this violence. The majority of Americans want action on this issue, and so do I.
