An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Enact an Assault Weapons Ban

57 so far! Help us get to 100 signers!

The prevalence of high-powered firearms, often referred to as "assault weapons", is a pressing concern. These weapons have been disproportionately involved in mass shootings, causing immense harm to our communities. While the effectiveness of the 1994 ban remains a topic of debate due to limited research, it is clear that the current situation necessitates action. We urge you to support legislation that reinstates the ban on these weapons. Additionally, consider supporting measures such as red flag laws and expanded background checks, which may be more politically attainable and can contribute to a safer society. The priority should be the safety and well-being of the people, not the interests of the gun community or political symbolism.
