Tell Maine's U.S. Senators: Support a Ban on Assault Weapons
On the evening of October 25, a man carrying a military-style assault weapon walked into a crowded bowling alley in Lewiston, Maine and started shooting indiscriminately.
According to the owner of the bowling alley, it was crowded at the time, with roughly 100 people – including 20 children – enjoying an evening of bowling.
At least 18 people were killed, and after a two-day search, the shooter was found dead as well.
The sad fact is, horrific mass shootings like this will continue until elected officials at both the state and federal levels pass common sense gun control legislation.
But unfortunately, both of Maine's U.S. Senators – Susan Collins and Angus King – oppose a ban on assault weapons like the one used in the tragic mass shooting in Lewiston.
We're calling on Senators Collins and King to reverse their positions and finally throw their support behind a ban on assault weapons that will save lives in Maine and throughout the United States.
Sign the petition urging Senators Collins and King to support a ban on assault weapons and other common-sense gun safety legislation.
